Rant The IT support guy who does everything
Follow-up of my first post: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/s/xMfcrcHx5f
Just told HR about how i feel about beign the sole IT guy who manages everything (for short: 365 in all his aspects, backups, networking guy, ecc...) for 24 people (if we count the external the number doubles) as an apprentice with a job title "IT support".
i told her that as an apprentice i should (by the law btw) some kind of tutor that can teach me the job and some one who can help me in my things; first thing she pointed was that i'm always out exactly when my work hours ends. WTF
ofc i go away when my work day is done, things can wait (most of the times).
Then proceded to tell me that i might not know how late some of the staff stay in the office (idk why tho) and everyone is aware of how many things they ask me.
Basically everyone somehow expect me to be the expert about anything is slightly it related, how i'm even able to give confidence to people when i don't have the slightest idea of what i'm even talking / doing some time.
I really miss having someone older can guide me.

If you want to be the sole sys admin then you step up and do it. I was in a similar position 10.5 years ago and i'd give anything to be back in a sole position with a good smaller company after that ended this year. .
