The backup joke

While reading around at jobs for IT Backup, Storage, Infrastructure Engineers who are paid in excess of £35,000 I find this backward job roll  and I must say it was very entertaining, it lacks motive and innovation for the solution.

One of the clear problems that come with this role and what makes it so funny is that the job role is obsolete and has been for many years.  The role of the ‘job’ is  is simple and it would sound like the person posting the job has very little intelligence as much as the company requiring such a person for a phantom role within there company.
I would think the the internal IT team or external team are creating the job as they are not innovative and stuck in a rutt, But we can see the Cost being less that the employers national insurance contributations for finance this role.
 The post reads:

Home Network Problem

For many years  and I wont give it away, but lets just say when most men were thinking of a pint and a mining strike I was into networking and two era’s later we can see this has come to fruit in the last 5 years.

Most people popped off to PC world to buy a network device as they carried out  large marketing campaigns on WiFi networks and how great they are and that you can use your Internet all over your home, in the garden just where ever you wanted.. BUT in reality many homes  just couldn’t get the things to work loads were taken back to PC world as weekend Bob the IT 16 year old was telling you “its the best, it will work” and using words like “definitely” and then you went home, and to much disappointment it didn’t work; Or it worked for a week and then stopped.

If you lost heart with having a network  and totally gave up with what seems impossible, don’t worry we can network you. No drilling holes, no stressfully days and nights, just pay your money, book the engineer and your network will be installed within the half hour. Take the professional choice, save  both time and money and have stress free use of the Internet.
