Re: [PLUG] Jobs with Work-Life Balance??


Time for a change, it seems.

Sysadmins don't work 40 hours a week, that's bullshit. Maybe you can
manage that in a really big institution, but if you're part of a small
team, you have to include late hours and occasional week ends.

The real question is: do they compensate you for that ? I find that
working from home is a nice compensation, but that doesn't replace the
satisfaction of a decent salary.

Not while there are Admins that don't have families and will work for
the same pay.

Hi all,

Sorry, I'm just a little stressed out and need to blow off a little
steam. Are there any unix/linux admin jobs out there with a good work
life balance? I've been getting killed in my job for years and years
now. But, at least, I had the option of working from home once in a
while and my supervisor was a little flexible about hours. However,
we just got reorged and the work load is not going to go down but the
working from home and all has been killed. Argh!

Is it possible to achieve the dream of doing unix/linux work and
spending time with the family?

Thanks
