But as someone said, its putting up with stupid annoying users that is an issue. Stress is suppressing the desire to beat the sh1t out of some c**t who desperately deserves it.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Career progression in support is tier 1 -> tier 2 -> tier 3. While we could all argue that it shouldn't be because it is my concern would be that the money isn't there..merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

No chance you can be on 1st Line and 35k. Well, at one point I myself was on 25k (permie) and my job specification said 1st line support, but that was because we had root access on all remote servers and no 2nd line support. In other words we were 1st, 2nd and 3rd line at once.
I can't believe the 1st line support jobs advertised in the West Midlands or the North for 40k can be other than a fishing trip. I am not sure about the City but I have my doubts. Then, you know, I am not officially in IT any more so I might well talk b*llocks.<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment
