Chuck:
>>> Network Admin have more job security (since it's hardware, plus few easy software).
>>Have you ever configured Border Manager, Groupwise, ZEN Works, InocuLAN or anything of that nature for a network? It's not trivial or even easy... Job security has a lot more to do with happiness of both parties involved. A LAN Admin usually enjoys seeing his network grow when he is doing a good job, and tends to want to go elsewhere when it becomes a mess.
>hahaha. We have GroupWise here. Our LAN Admin (I am guessing he's only 18 years old) is doing a very good job here.
>I was once an System Manager and I changed the whole network system, but, err, quite an easy one :) (Win95 peer-to-peer, but had DOS involved too).
We have 3500 users spread over 50+ offices and managing our network is not easy. You perceive your LAN Admin to be doing a good job (and he may well be doing a good job) but it does not mean he is qualified to manage a complex network. Easy is a relative term. To give you a blunt example, several questions you posted on this forum are trivial matters to me. Does it mean I should dismiss all your questions because they are beneath my abilities? I don't think so. I believe everyone participating in UT is showing an interestt to grow and should be given a chance to learn. It does not mean I will not chastise some people for what I perceive to be bad answers, just that I will pick on them for that particular answer and not carry a grudge.
IMO, unless you accept who you are and find some hapiness in your job, you will always be a prime candidate to be fired...
