    It must be just to fulfil some contractual obligation to provide a certain amount of cover, in terms of headcount, for something or other.

        It could simply be the case that the CEO and their top table expect instant support at their deskside if they can't print. I've seen it elsewhere and if you want to stay as head of support, you have to support the top table at these places.

          First advertise it, then document can't fill the vacancy, then apply for the work permit under the IT skills shortage list. Then ship over the Indian guy.

          Sorted.

                  It screams public sector, so yes - rule of thumb is that one should assume all public sector management are fookwits, and 98% of the time you'd be right.

                  *Windows 7/8 support
                  *Office suite
                  *Data backups
                  *VIP support
                  *Spares management
                  *Conference/Deskphone activities
                  *Basic printer support and much more!

                  All this in 3 hours? Someone's going to be a busy little fecker...

                    Not if you want someone with SC.

                      No I didn't get it. I begged them to let me do it for £12 an hour, as I don't have current SC, but they said I have too many convictions for thieving bits of test networks and beating up crippled gypsy children, and two of my historic restraining orders are still in force, so I was a bit too much of a risk. Hey ho...
