What I hate about IT is that you have to wear multiple hats. Not unique to IT in the slightest, but IT often has to do weird shit that IMO should not be at all in the job description. Management for some reason is convinced IT should be ok with doing physical labor to move shit around, should be ok to be part time logistics department, should be part time project manager, should be part time janitor, should be like HR, should be sales people, should be public speaker, should be part time QA, should be part time in legal, etc etc etc. It’s fucking ridiculous. I just want to work with the tech. Get the people out of the fucking way. All I want is the tech ffs. It’s in my fucking title.

A Union would be nice for crap like this. If you make more than $27.63 they don’t have to pay you overtime. I had a co worker that was asked to work overtime, like 13 years ago, and his contractor wasn’t going to pay him overtime. www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/…/17a-overtime
