At one one job, I was labeled...
by several titles; "The miracle worker"; "Mr. Friendly"; "Mr. Could do it when no one else could"; "Mr. 11th Hour"; ""The Savior". Those titles, while they aren't eh actual titles, but that's how at one job I was seen. I was labeled as the person who ACTUALLY KNOWS I.T.. I was labeled as the I.T. person who could ACTUALLY GET THINGS DONE. The problem with being labeled that was I unknowingly brought to light the problems with my colleagues and even the other departments of my former employer being able to work with the main I.T. department. With me showing up the I.T. departmnt (which is a very small; e.g., 3 persons), I got flack from 1/3 of the I.T. department, but another 1/3 I had a great working realtionship with; I'm sure you all can figure out which 1/3 that was. Which was ironic, sicne I had done everything I could to start and maintain a good relationship with the main I.T. department, as I was always used to working with I.T.. My prior positions I worked in the main I.T. departments, this time was the first time I worked outside of the main I.T. department in a department that had no I.T personnel prior.
It wasn't my intention to be labeled anything or to have people mad at me because of their shortcomings that were already there before I ever thought of working there. I just wanted to do my job; a job I enjoyed.
