‘Everyone left the company on my first day’: New hire gets left in charge of IT systems after everyone quits


When getting hired by a company, the last thing you'd imagine to happen would be everyone leaving on your first day. But that's what happened to u/mTbzz, who was hired as a sysadmin. This company was using some pretty obscure software from IBM, so OP was walked through it. He even met the other 2 senior sysadmins and they had a good talk about experiences and the job. The next day OP found out that all three of these people would no longer be working at the company, and he was left with systems he didn't know how to maneuver, with no accounts, and no manual.

The absurdity doesn't end there… OP was told that he must call ISP to negotiate a new deal and switch their internet company in order to save money. This was never in OP's job description, and OP promptly told his boss that they should request that someone else do it. Tough luck, as OP's boss didn't give in. Scroll down to continue reading about the unraveling of events.

For more, here are customers who attempted to get their waiter fired after he laughed at their requests.
