team of two and only one of us pulls his weight and it's becoming increasingly inconsistent as management gets more and more insane.

I'm at a small MSP so I don't know whether to count the whole office or just my official "team". My official team is nothing more than a title as most people sit in silos all day anyways.

Team of 5. 3 pull their weight and out of those one of their kids has cancer and he’s still better than the other two even though he’s out so often.

Last client it was just me doing any work on a team. This client is pretty much everyone doing their jobs, and that has been the norm for teams in that company.

On my team of 5, three of us know what’s up, one is only a jr admin and actively looking, and the last one is struggling a bit but tries hard.

Our 3 new people kick rear end and are hungry. The most senior guy pulls his weight but ends up getting bogged down a lot. One guy doesn’t really pull his weight. And I could be doing a whole lot better.

Things that don't piss me off: I got a bonus from my bosses boss for working so hard on the email migration we just did. It's basically an extra weeks pay on top of the 40+ hours of OT I pulled. Out of the 3 helpdesk people at my job, I feel like there are only two of us doing any real work, and the third dude just keeps vanishing... but he's also friends with the CFO's son, so we can't fire the dude to hire someone competent.

Team of 4, 100% pull weight, though one member is newer and is in a different weight class as we get her up to speed.

Team of 6 but 2 of us have just a month in and are still learning. The other 4 pull more than their weight. I feel like an rear end in a top hat because they are working 10-11 hours days and I do my shift and go home. We are hourly and I just don’t know enough to justify working overtime currently. I’m sure I could get away with it but I just wouldn’t feel good about it.

I'm the very new guy in a job that's a huge career leap for me, so I doubt I'll be pulling my weight any time soon. The other 4 guys on the team seem to all pull their weight but maybe I just haven't realized if anyone is slacking yet.

Team of 5, everybody is 100% all the time. Or work simply gets done. As the newest guy I'm trying my hardest to get up to speed so I can catch up and start excelling past them so I don't get stuck doing bitch work. Even outside of our team the department is extremely productive. And beyond that the infrastructure group as a whole is consistently on point. I haven't found a slacker at this company yet.

Of course everyone has their off-days, especially depending on what's going on in their lives, and everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. But the work ethic is one of the things I like most about the people I work directly with. One guy actually needs to work less and spend more time with his family.

Team of 2. We're both pulling about 200% of our weight, because holy gently caress are we understaffed. 24/7 on call can eat my rear end. Thankfully it sounds like I may have a job offer coming my way. I love to get poo poo done, but I really wish there was some downtime so I could play with more scripting poo poo/automation stuff, etc.

Hows this for lovely? Had training today. And something I did was used as a example of what not to do. In training rolled out to hundreds of people over several countries. The thing is, I'd done exactly what was requested of me and can prove it. Its in the notes. While everyone was having a good laugh at something I'd written very carefully to a client, now part of training material and being projected on a wall. *They blacked out the names I got kinda pissy and said, how about some context, thats mine, this is why I did it, and x person asked for it. Silence. I could have stayed quiet and said nothing, I'm kinda stupid in some ways, but I was just so pissed. If its bad enough it be in training material, possibly loving talk to the person? The other option would be to read the literal previous note which covered why I'd approached it that way.

 The website is down! NO orders are going through! What are you basing this off of? Google analytics!Just the amount of panic has caused from the nothing burger he produced makes me want to punt him from the 4th floor window.

So they see a dip in visitors or a change in the orders coming in and just assume the site has blown up?

Apparently google analytics has some metrics to guess if people are completing orders. He went with that guesswork instead of actually checking the internal systems that logs transactions. No dips in visitors of any kind.

Not really pissing me off, but making me shake my head. I got a ping from my customer via a contact that I'd never met before. Dude is huffy because "his website is down". A long chat ensues during which we verify that his EC2 instance, all one of them, is healthy and taking traffic, security groups are accepting 80 and 443, but one of his sites is pointing to the site index instead of index.html but only when viewed from cell phones in his office. I won't bore you with the long version, but it turns out that he was receiving 403 errors to a site, so he decided to turn on IPv6 (because that'll fix it!), adding a layer of complexity and management to a service he barely understands. Turns out IPv6 wasn't enabled on his home network Wifi so cell phones grabbing his internet access didn't have IPv6 access to the site. This plus a badly configured vhost.conf and apache2.conf were bolluxing everything up. The best part of our little dance together was when he busted out "I am using your nic devices and someone should make them work as advertised." and "My site is exposed to hackers. If you don't give me your boss I will report you to BBB.org and your complaint department." It took everything I had to not say, "the Better Business Bureau probably runs on AWS and they understand how the shared responsibility model works, sir."

Since I deal only with enterprise customers I can’t say what the general Aws population does, but this event was surprising because of its irregularity. “Sir, you do know that your million+ dollar a month company does have a six-person cloud team with whom I interact on a daily basis? Maybe you should seek help and get your expectations level-set from them.”

Oh, thanks for sending that ticket update on that $5000 laser scanner I returned for rebuild. Oh hang on I have to log into your website to view said ticket? Oh wait hangon, this isnt your site, it's a copy/paste from the ticket ya'll submitted to the other company actually doing the rebuild? I wonder what their rebuild quote would be as opposed to yours

Sometimes a person might not know that they have an internal cloud team, or when they find out it turns out the cloud team is two verticals away and only intersects with your management in the C-suite and therefore you need C-level permission to get any of their time and none of your managers want to bring up the issue, leaving you to figure out AWS all by yourself as there is no common chat program you could use to find the team members and ask them directly. Ask me how I know.
