Nervous_Tic Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I work as a Systems Developer, which is a generic term for someone who punches code into the computer all day, working with people who either seemingly have no skills beyond this, or people who have worked in the trade for 30 years yet act like they've never seen a computer before. Scarily enough the system we're trying (and failing) to develop is one that will administrate everybody's pension. Reason #53272 why emigrating is a brilliant idea. It's not a particularly great job, as you may have guessed by now. I'm leaving the company in May and moving to a different one doing similar work.

TafkaN Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) My job title is IT Manager (I work for a finance/loan brokering company). My job basically entails making sure PCs, Servers, Firewall, Phone system, Printers, Software, etc are all working. Alongside this, I am constantly bombarded with Projects that I always fall behind on due to the nature of IT systems failing at the most inopportune moments. Money isn't great, but it's local, friendly, flexible, and I do have the respect of the Directors. It also granted me the opportunity to meet the lovely niece of our own InspectorMorose, a work colleague who I now feel proud to call my girlfriend.

RoytonBlueLad Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) My job role with British Gas was made redundant two weeks ago. Some lucky sod in India will be doing my back office role now. Damn the SAP product and its cleverness. Booooo! Easiest job (and best paid) I've ever done. I received my redundancy cash last Friday so now I'm sat on my backside all day applying for jobs. I thought being like this would be fun. It's not. Anyone got any jobs? Edited April 16, 2007 by RoytonBlueLad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff working on the line - possibly for a private contractor - may have removed vital components as a short cut to complete the work quickly, according to industry sources. At least 200 trains carrying tens of thousands of passengers passed over the faulty points before the accident in which a Virgin Pendolino train left the track, killing an elderly woman and seriously injuring five other people. Network Rail confirmed that video footage taken by special engineering equipment found that a critical piece of equipment, which stabilises the points, was missing from the crossover two days before the accident. The film showed that the front stretcher bar, which keeps the rails apart, was missing from the points last Wednesday. A spokesman for the infrastructure company however said that, as a matter of routine, the video footage was not inspected until after the crash. The industry sources argued that workers may have taken the points apart in order to switch a vehicle from one track to another. Under normal circumstances the special crossover can only be operated by line-side personnel if it has been "released" by a signaller. The points are only used for engineering work and during emergencies. The industry insider said the evidence pointed to maintenance staff taking the points apart so that they could switch a vehicle from one track to another without the involvement or authorisation of the signaller. Clearly the staff then failed to reassemble the equipment. Investigators are attempting to find out which engineering vehicles were on the track since 15 February when the points were last used officially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
