ramblings of a {sys,net}admin…

I just read a somewhat interesting blog post by rmorril entitled Lack of IT Skills = Job Burnout over at ITtoolbox.

To be honest, most of it was rather uninteresting, but one paragraph in particular caught my attention:

“IT workers who are implementing new technology need to have the training to make it happen, or the project will stand a long-term chance of poor adoption or outright failure. Within that concept of failure should be considered the loss of key employees who implemented the technology, or quit at critical times during the implementation phase of the technology. Most workers leave when work stress begins to impact their regular lives, or they find that they are not getting the support or recognition they need or think they deserve. Stacking the deck against an IT worker when implementing new technology by not training on the new technology will impair the workers ability to complete the task effectively, or lead to burn out.”
