They fluctuate between managing the personnel and technology needs of the company. My responsibilities can include at least the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feature Request Reviews &#8211; Analyzing feasibility and ROI.<\/li>\n<li>Staffing Decisions &#8211; Anything from time off requests, to hiring, to terminations and everything in between.<\/li>\n<li>Disaster Management &#8211; When something really bad happens, I get to make the tough decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure Management<\/li>\n<li>Trade Show Roster Management<\/li>\n<li>And when my engineers are unable to solve an issue, I become the defacto Linux and network administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need to escalate an issue, always reach out to Frankie Guiliano first since hes my support manager. Generally that means he has a faster pulse to current issue and may be able to resolve your issues faster. If you&#8217;re unable to reach a resolution you can email me. Now I only make one request, link me to your ticket that includes diagnostic information. This will allow me to trace the issue technically or if it\u2019s a situation involving one of my employees.<\/p>\n<p>Once I get an email, the first thing I do is go through the ticket since it allows me to review the details of the actual problem myself. I think we can all agree that once we&#8217;re frustrated with a situation our judgment becomes cloudy and we get short sighted, it&#8217;s human. So I like try to gain a non-angry perspective from the facts available, which I like to assume are part of the ticket. From there, I have to decide how to remedy the situation, which may include: making platform changes, employee reprimands, saying something close to &#8220;no&#8221; in as few situations as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running into a situation with our platform that you&#8217;re finding falling short, please let me know. Some changes take more time than others, but I can assure you that I will look into the changes and if they&#8217;re workable, I&#8217;m willing to make them. One of the things that I offer as a differentiation point when I speak with folks, we will always to fit what your needs are for your clients.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, please reach out to me at <a href=\"mailto:carlos@ownwebnow.com\">carlos@ownwebnow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":797,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782\/revisions\/797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
