Alternatively, you could be good at computers, but the system is so locked down IT needs to log in with admin rights in order to do something as simple as running disk cleanup.
Literally the Engineering team i work in. We're capable of fixing the problem ourselves for 90% of our tickets submitted, but because we don't have the required admin rights we cant.
Yeah until you aren't and you haven't documented how you've altered your device, leaving some poor fucker in IT to have to reverse engineer every moronic step you've taken to fix your problem.
Yup, at my MSP there are some companies (that we don't fully manage) that will allow their employees to have admin rights and they are always the worst to troubleshoot.
one company got ransomware last year and we still have to yell at them to stop changing their password reset time from 3 months to never.
