I looked at Gooden’s background, she has a Computer Tech Degree but she has some graduate degrees in the area of business. And she was a ball breaking bitch too ! I heard stories of various people having run-ins with her. She was also known for being a workaholic too. All the petty rules they had reminded you that you were company property. I want to add, when you went on vacation, you had to get permission not only to take the time off but also leave town as well. Want to add, she use to head LM-IT and the people there didn’t like her and how he treated everyone there too.
> she sounds like a real ball-busting bitch. I’ll take a wild guess that there were a bunch of engineers in her division (it is LM, after all) ... and she was not one of them.
I was at one job and wanted a vacation badly. I was hoping to be let go as soon as I gave my two weeks but no such luck. Of course that job, there was no internet account.
At LM, the second to the last contract, I had many safe combos, passwords, codes to make your head spin. I however refused the combo for the COMSEC safe especially since if ou screwed it up, yo go to jail. When I left the contract, I told my cohorts to change the root passwords and before I lost root access, I removed my user accounts from all of the systems and asked the other sysadmins to go through after I was gone to make sure they were gone. When I went to my last contract working at an AF base, it was like a 5 person team and I told my cohort that I didn’t want any door combos, safe combos or anything. I needed the root password so I can do my job. When I got laid off, it was easy for them - they didn’t have to change combos since I didn’t sign for them.
> I’ve been escorted off premises a couple of times, myself. Didn’t mind it a bit - in fact it covered my butt.
Thought so. Dumb people who are in positions of power AND who aren't all that wise, tend to be easily intimidated and bludgeon those who are smarter than them.
I've worked for all types. The smart AND wise ones are the most fun. The dumb ones that are wise enough to just keep a steady hand on the tiller are the second best.
The dumb, foolish ones are always either petty tyrants, like this lady, or are just mostly useless. I had a "mostly useless" manager not long ago, and I pretty much managed him, rather than the other way around. He was handy to send to meetings and/or keep people off my back so that I could get the work done. Otherwise, I pretty much did my own thing, and only let him stick to making the harmless decisions.
