I'm not the phone company I can't tell you if the lines work before we get there lol. IT guys aren't miss cleo's..
I take it you are a manager... You sound like alot of managers here. We want this done now, don't give us any lip. It's not the technician's job to know this, the manager is responsible for this planning :smile: .

You can't promise a huge move is going to go okay. It's like promising a MS patch is going to be compatible with every application you have (which is what we are going through right now, good planning managers...)

Maybe we just handle things differently. If the IT guys need something to ensure that we are operating then yes, it is their job to know. IT people everwhere are notorious for making excuses and taking long lunch breaks. Not around here. They have to get their job done -- just like everyone else.

Lol I do work. I only get a half hour lunch breaks and usually I go across the street to wendy's or wing street and work while I eat. We are too shortstaffed to slack-off and it f*ckin sucks, i miss slacking off (2 hour lunches @ my old job with my boss none-the-less) but they won't hire anyone else to help get stuff done.

Would be better than going to jail for fraud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

They wont hire anyone even after you told them you miss your slack-off time? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Lol if i told them that, we'd be even more short-staffed. I hate being bored now, I have to be doing something here (pretty much why i work through my lunches now).

They won't pay us overtime either, and as of right now we could really afford to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

I am just messing with you a little. I know all too well that a lock, stock and barrell move is going to have some problems. My point is that you have to really anticipate this on the front end to keep them from manifesting themselves as down time. We know that without communication and computer services our entire staff is useless. That is why when we planned our moves we did so very carefully and the IT guys were heavily involved in the planning process. We let our customers know what we were doing well ahead of time.

Moving on a three day weekend helped a lot. Nontheless, I would be less than honest if I said that our IT guys were not busy as hell the first full day of operation. But we certainly were never completely without communications.

You have graduated from coke to crack if you honestly believe that.

i do believe that, and i have been free of crack for several hours now.

If you're working more than 40 hours in a week, then overtime is guaranteed by law.

FWIW- I just drove by their office on Distribution here in San Diego... It's empty and there is an eviction recovery notice on the door.

Yup, saying "the move will be as painless as possible" with no project plan or list of risks to gain acceptances, and known outages would get an IT group fired in my past jobs. I work in IT and would never give a "maybe" as an answer, just wouldn't fly.

You can plan all you want and there will almost always be some small problems in a huge move. You don't just wing it though. You set up another location, test at that location, plan the move, review the plan, then execute.

Way off topic though....moving a speaker company probably isn't like moving a large IT environment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
