The Register, Monday, June 30th, 2025
Sensible CEO wouldn't let our hero take the blame - a shoddy supervisor got the slap
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Logan" who told us he acquired a psychology degree that somehow led to a role as an IT generalist.
A few years into that gig, Logan wanted a change and scored a job as a junior sysadmin - a big change because it involved working on a structured team.
"We had four developers, a product owner, and one other sysadmin," Logan told Who, Me?
That setup was a little confronting. "I'd never worked somewhere with a proper office, or indeed, proper unwritten rules," Logan told us. He also learned that the second sysadmin wanted to get out of the job and become a developer.
