Afternoon G,So recently I picked up work as a contractor doing local IT support for a large American Mega Corp in the UK. The issue is, I don’t enjoy it at all. I actually hate it.The company’s systems are so locked down that even basic tasks in Active Directory, like resetting a user’s password or adding them to a group, aren’t permitted. Instead, you have to raise a request with a team in India to complete what is essentially a one minute job, which then takes up to four days.There also seems to be no job progression. Everyone in the IT team looks completely drained no one seems happy. There’s nothing new to learn, and most days are spent sitting around waiting for tickets to come in. Even when they do, because of the lack of access and permissions, most tickets just get passed off to external teams anyway.I’m contracted until July, and I’ve only been here two weeks but already feel burnt out. To end the contract, I’d need to give six weeks’ notice.Is there any way I can make this role feel less like I’m just waiting for the clock to hit 5pm every day, or should I seriously be looking to leave?
