When the Administrator walks…

“We never like to see our co-workers leave. In most cases,
though, we are are happy for them because they are going on to
bigger and better things. But occasionally they are not leaving
under their own power. And that is when things can
get…well…messy. So before you are tasked with the job of
putting it all back together, why not take a moment and
prepare.

“I have discovered that there are two types of administrators
– those who are shepherds of the systems, guarding them,
nurturing them, and returning them to their employers in better
shape than they found them and those who are owners of the systems,
jealously guarding them, babying them and only reluctantly
returning them to their employers, usually when they are shown the
door. It is this last group that will cause you the most pain and
suffering and it is this last group who you have to prepare for,
prevent against and stand watch over.”
