At my first job that literally employed 10 people, the internal IT manager left for a better job. He had been working for them for 5 years and did all sorts of things that weren’t in his job description much like all of us since there were, you know, 10 of us. I remember them complaining about not getting any applications and also asking me in the marketing department about how to entice new candidates. My coworker and I looked at the job posting which required 10 years of experience for entry level pay and both suggested that they either need to pay more or reduce the experience required. Their excuse for not doing so basically amounted to that they were paying the previous guy this amount so surely they don’t need to pay more. Except… He left? Because of money most likely? It baffled me how they just couldn’t connect the dots there.
My first job was about 200 people but there was a satellite office with 3 people. Similar story, someone left and they tried to replace him for the same salary. The job ad was for project manager/lead dev/office manager/customer support and user training.
What I’m reading from the role combination is that he made apps, gave updates to managers, taught people how to use the apps, helped them when they had issues, and was the one that ordered alcohol for the office after drinking it all due to the previous.
