There is a classic problem I see day in and day out in my job which is not only frustrating but counter-productive in a way. Let me give you the scenario.

A service on a server goes down, thus causing several of our sites to down. We have 4 different IT guys with their hands in that server all restarting the same service that went down all in a matter of minutes. They are all thinking that this server “omg restarted itself and I didn’t do it” when it was really just another IT guy restarting the service. I have to admit, I logged on and saw all services running, then I saw them restart. I figured it out right away what exactly was happening and by looking at who was logged into terminal services confirmed my suspicion. Oy.

You know how when you disturb an ant pile, all the ants start running around in circles trying to fix and repair that damage. That’s IT here.

It’s frustrating. We have procedures in place for a reason. I wish I could do something about it.
