Are we spread too thin?
LockedI work for an apparel retail/wholesale company who plans to roll out about 10 stores next year.
Currently there are 28 retail stores and most of my day or my sysadmin’s day is spent dealing w/ stupid user questions and fixing the problems created by users at the store, the in-house problems are minimal, since I?m a dictator with my network (people hate me but the network works, and people can do their jobs)
overall we support 80 PC’s and 5 Macs @ corporate office with 10 servers, 2 other remote offices, 1 with 20 PC’s, 2 Macs, 1 Server and another remote w/ 7 PC’s and one server and there are 2 PC’s at each retail store for POS (and checking email but i am pushing for a 3rd in the back office to do admin tasks)
I feel I need another sysadmin to help support the stores. I?m new to management (been in IT since I was 15 though) and I would like some help on how I should go about requesting new staff and explaining why it basically will not be a waist of money
