     The last guy that left or got fired is the reason things are screwed right now.

     @nixCraft Look the other way when you're seated next to a fellow admin and they type in any kind of credentials.

     @nixCraft Two bad rules related to performance.

     1. Solution should be as hard as the problem to be praise/promotion worthy.
     2. All praise/promotion worthy projects should take a certain length of time, e.g., two years.

     @nixCraft How about never, ever say, 'It’s just a quick fix.' That’s basically inviting the tech gods to rain chaos on your entire day. Every 'quick fix' has a hidden rabbit hole waiting to swallow you whole.

     @nixCraft If it's working, cut the budget. If it continues to work, fire people. When it breaks completely, hire people, spend money, take the credit. Repeat.
