I recieved an e-mail from my boss this morning: "We need to talk. Please be in my office by 9am this morning."
Thats it. Nothing further. I'm a little bit nervous right now, trying to recall anything I did/didn't do that could warrant such a curt and ill-foreboding message. |

The tone of it is very suspicious. It is rather foreboding isn't it.
However, this may not be about you. Is there somebody else that you might need to consult with your boss about? Maybe another staff member? Could it just be that they were in a hurry and we're projecting the negative tone onto it? You know very well that reading a meaning onto an e-mail message is asking for trouble. -------------

I dunno, the boss is a pretty laid back guy and I like working for him, but when he gets irritated, things get bad, quick. He's never been really irked with me so far, so I really don't know what to expect. Who knows, this time tomorrow, I could be unemployed, so I'll have all kinds of time to spend here.

| reif, maybe, but this dude is a very well put-together guy. He usually says exactly what he means, and I usually get some kind of hint as to what he needs to speak to me about in his messages. I know its impossible to convey tone through e-mails, but I know the man well enough to know that if this wasn't something serious, he'd have made mention to it in the body of the message. |

Well, it wasn't a minor issue. Essentially,y I have 30 days to convince him that my contract is worth renewing in July. The short story is, when I first started working around here, I was running like a decapitated chicken getting machines hooked up, running wires, etc. Now that that's settled down, a year and a half into the position, I've settled into more software oriented tasks that require seat time over leg work. The difference has been noted, and chalked up to a backslide in work efficiency. We're undergoing a building project and hes concerned that my abilities based on observations that he's made recently aren't up to the demands that will be set upon me by the project. I've got another meeting with him in a week where I present a work log, as well as my rebuttal to his criticisms. I didn't try to do that today, because he was pretty steamed and it would have looked like I was arguing with him as opposed to discussing. We both realized this and I've got a week to put together a comprehensive log of work I've done. What chaps my ass though, is I was encouraged to be 'proactive' instead of 'reactive' in my work. How can you do that when your job is to troubleshoot day-to-day problems? There were a few things that irked me pretty good that I won't get into, but he did have a point or two that was worth taking into consideration. I think I'll have his mind eased when I meet him next week again with something to show him. |

Well that's a bummer. First - are you sure you want to fight for this job? I think we all have a default setting of "don't quit", but sometimes these things are a blessing in disguise... But, assuming you want to stay on - I agree with the advice so far (possibly excepting the TEC9). You need to convey to your boss that the reason you appear slow now is because you did such a great job setting everything up. If you were still running around, chicken style, then they should be complaining. As it is, they should be happy that things are running as smoothly as they are. Moreover, if they want the same quality performance in their new building, they should stick with the proven commodity (you). You should (if possible) provide a detailed explanation of everything you did to set stuff up initially, to impress them with the geeky awesomeness of it all. Then, more importantly, you need to explain/describe your current maintenance duties, so that they understand that sitting on your butt is not "lazy", but "your job". Walk him through an average day (leaving out the foruming, probably), so that he can see how (a) most of your duties require your butt in the chair, and (b) you have a lot of duties. Having to do these things really suck, but they can be a healthy exercise for you as well and will allow you to do your job (this or the next) better. Good luck. ------------- "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." |

I have started logging all work requests, as well as work that I've completed so that when I meet him again I can hand him a sheaf of papers and say 'here is what I'm up to every day' I do want to keep this job. Its not too terribly hard to do, I like the work, and many of the people I work with, I like. Not to mention the external rewards like earning enough money to be able to support myself and my wife, pay off my bills, and not have to live with parents. The insurance coverage isn't that bad either since I work for a school. I like your advice Susan, I think I'll put some stock into it and build off that for my meeting next week. |

Well, you could always create some huge problem on the system that is an
easy fix. Then when he is freaking out come up with some good excuse to why it happened but make sure he is not suspicious. Then do all your nerdy computer guy stuff and impress him by brining the system back to where it was.

When I went into the meeting I thought to myself 'well, maybe hes got a point' the more I think about it, I HAVENT been goofing off or backsliding. I think he knows this, but doesn't want to renew my contract next year already. the 30 days he gave me is a formality. I'm going to be terminated next year for any number of reasons I think. Remember, this is the same guy that told me I'd be the first one on the list should a teaching position open up, then when one did, they hired for it without ever posting or notifying me about it. I've got the sneaking suspicion that he doesn't really have a problem with the work that I'm doing, he's just looking for an excuse to get someone in next year who is new, and pay them a first year teaching salary as opposed to a third year, which is what I'll be making. They're in the middle of a multi million dollar building project, and if they're over budget somewhere, they could get a few thousand dollars extra to cover their asses by canning me, an 'at will employee' and hiring someone new and paying them much less. Maybe I'm being irrational, but I've been boned by this place before, and its starting to smell like I'm about to get boned again. I'll make a bet with anyone right now. For the next 30 days, which he gave me to 'convince him I'm worth keeping' I will work my tail off. I will work harder than I have been, and I'll accomplish anything and everything I can. But, the bet is, that when I have a meeting with him in 30 days, I will not have my contract renewed. I'm almost certain of the fact. I think I'll start looking for a new job. |

The story was, they didn't hire me for a teaching job because they liked the work I was doing as the network administrator. This was only a handful of months ago. Now though, things have taken a 180 swing and not only am I not doing a 'wonderful job' I'm in the verge of not having a contract renewed. I dunno, I'm not that great a person, nor a worker, but to make a switch like that in just a few months, I'd have to be a bigger screw up than even I think I am. |

If a big hairy guy walks towards you with a jar of vaseline, you aren't paranoid to suspect a rodgering.
If you've been screwed over before you might be a little biased to expect it, but that's your experience right? So you are probably justified. Keep you nose clean, if you want the job show how you are still working at it, but cast your line around for another. No harm. Even if they give you your contract again, you could be in a stronger position if you have another one lined up. KBK |

I'm about ready to go to work today, and I'm so certainly convinced that yesterday's meeting was a BS preface to ending my contract to save money, prevent tenure, whatever, that I'd do everything in my power to resign if I didn't need the money that I make there. Being freshly married, I'm hurting for every dime I can make, and I'm not dumb enough to let a good thing like a well paying job slip through my fingers at this point in my life. Thanks for the well wished all, I'm going to do my damnedest to retain my position for as long as I can, but I've got a guy who runs a technical consulting company out of Albany, they do a lot of traveling around to schools, businesses, etc. and do network troubleshooting and maintenance. A while back he asked me how serious I was in working in the technical field, and that if I was willing to throw teaching to the curb for now, his company might consider me as a technician. I'm going to see if that window is still open, because I don't want, nor need the aggravation stemming from working at this school anymore. In fact, if I get the nod from him and his company, I think that even if they DO offer to renew my contract next year, I'll turn them down, I don't feel like being jerked around any more. |

I'd be seriously tempted to respectfully call him out on his actions in 30 days just to let him know you aren't too dumb to know you're getting screwed. Besides, it'll make you feel better. Your suspicions are probably correct. My old high school went through similar renovations and a new building was added. They hired a lot of what were essentially full-time substitute teachers after that and had them teaching classes and doing jobs they were not qualified for. The turnover rate there is amazing. Start making escape plans, but in the meantime, hang on until someone dies/retires/knocks up a student and there's another opening for a teaching position. As soon as they hired someone else for the open position without even speaking to you, you should have got paranoid, but hindsight is 20/20. |

When I talked to the guy last he asked me what I was making here now. When I told him, he didn't even bat an eye lash, so I'm figuring a starting salary could be close to where I am now. I would take a hit on insurance, since the coverage isn't as good as it is within a school, but we'll see waht happens. |

I thought about this since I'm fairly certain that I'm going to be released anyway, but I take a little bit of pride in what I do, and I couldn't do that to some of the teachers and administrators that I have no problem with. Plus, I don't think it would help my case any if I went to him and said "See? the network is a wreck without me working on it" He'd probably shoot me. personal piracy, however, I've thought about when they can me. I won't physically destroy anything, but I'll conveniently 'forget' to provide them with certain login information to systems as well as instructions on the management of some of our more intricate pieces of hardware. You want to play hardball? I might lose the game, but it will NOT be a shutout. I have also decided, that should the company I spoke to want to hire me, I'm going to find out when I could start. If they say "immediately" I'm going to resign, right here in the middle of the friggin school year. I won't even give them the chance of making me suffer the indignity of not getting my contract renewed under the heading of 'incompetance' Screw 'em. Apparently, this superintendant has shafted a few teachers out of jobs before, including my predecessor. His methods are so twisted that a suit could be warranted, except noone wants to do that since you wouldn't be suing him, but the taxpayers of the community, so he goes unscathed as he wrecks the careers of people that he doesn't like. |

I don't care to damage the school's ability to function. I've no desire to 'get back' at anyone, I just want it cleared up that I AM in fact, doing my job. Unfortunately, changing the minds of administrators is alot like changing the direction of a freight train. Once this guy got it into his head that I wasn't living up to his expectations, which I never knew what the hell they were in the first place, the 30 day window he gave me was a formal warning that "You're finished here." My suspicions that he's just trying to get rid of me are growing, since I can't figure out why he didn't approach me before it got to the point where he was giving me 30 days to 'straighten up?' It would seem to me, from a management standpoint, where if you've got an employee who is causing trouble, you sit him down, and try to set him straight. If that fails, you set the timeline. If THAT fails, he goes bye-bye. It appears I went straight past the second strike and have broken my wrists on a swing at the third strike before I even knew I was up to bat. I maintain that I should have been approached before this point provided his 'concerns' were legitimate. If not, then there's more than one of us who aren't doing our jobs correctly.

He wanted to know if what was on the quote was correct. I had to call the company for the information he wanted, PLUS get a brand new quote because some dingbat sat on the damn quote for two stinking months, rendering it expired......and IM the one not doing my job.

Unfortunately, no. I'm on thin ice as it is and nobody is as dangerous as a school administrator with a bruised ego. There are fewer people in the world who are quite as vindictive as administrators. I'm keeping my mouth shut until I get the official axe from the superintendant next month. Once I do, then I'll be hard pressed NOT to point out the glaring stupidity of some of the miscreants I work with. |

QFT. My theory on this is it has something to do with the fact that they all secretly realize how unimportant their little academic empire truly is in the big scheme of things and compensate by acting in a manner that exaggerates both their own importance and the importance of their actions. Or maybe they're just under-endowed. -------------

upgrade the whole school to Vista before you leave. Then they'll be sorry. Make the administrator of the network that admin for all computers. Then everytime someone on the network wants to delete a file, he will get a stupid pop-up asking for permission to delete. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

You sir, are an absolute genius. My hat is off to you, and this HAS been taken into serious consideration. |
