    Sounds like my job at a small full-house IT company. We did anything IT related the customer wanted. We got paid $1.2k by a rich guy to fix his son’s Roblox account once.

      Exactly. Company makes doors, by hand. 10 employees total and 2 computers. Easiest job you’ve ever had and you actually feel guilty every time they pay you for the first few months.

      My job in data analytics occasionally involves pulling printing volume data. Does that count as “anything to do with printers”?

      Because fuck trying to aggregate by printer location when the location string is manually entered by humans with different “standards” and varying adherence even to their stated standard.

      The funny thing about jobs is that demand for the job tends to scale with pay. Of all the IT positions in an office, the guy fixing the printers is probably earning the least.

    This is basically my current job. Almost the same pay (120k) in the Seattle area.

    I work 50-70 hours a week

    Honestly, this is what we currently have at our mid sized company. We get paid dogshit, nobody has a dedicated position we’re just all “IT” and we do everything to keep shit running

    I worked a short stint as a network administrator for a company I did not like at all. I figured it’d be a foot in the door, but boy was I wrong. I didn’t last 6 months, I was doing work of a network tech, network admin, security tech for door locks and cameras, a custodian, and general computer tech in all that. It was a VASTLY underpaid position for the work.

      Yeah, it doesn’t sound like 3 jobs at all. It’s as close to a textbook definition of what you’d expect an IT Manager to do as I can think of.

      “You’re good with computers, right?”

      I swear these people probably ask their Uber drivers to fix their transmission because they’re “good with cars”.

    I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.

    Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…
