Only just saw this thread. This is how things are with me:

 

Workstations and laptops: 220 (with another fifty arriving before september)

IWB + Projector: 8

Projectors: 10

Printers: 40

 

And it's just me. It's a good thing that I'm so laid back, or I'd be off on stress, I'm sure.

Up to the point when we had about 300 machines (the first 7 years), there was just me. Then we got another tech with responsibility for the admin network. A year later another tech for looking after laptops. A couple of years later another tech for doing the basic stuff and a "guru" / manager.

 

So there were 5 of us, looking after:

500 PCs

100 staff laptops

100 student laptops

70 interactive whiteboards

30 printers

10 servers

100 staff

1300 students

2 sites

wireless over both sites (two different types)

setups for assemblies and events

a training room with video cameras and mics.

 

Then the "guru" / manager left and didn't get replaced (the admin tech was given more money to become the manager). Now the admin tech's leaving and it doesn't look like they'll replace him. So we'll be down to 3 staff with the same amount of kit / people to look after.

 

The job descriptions are so vague that they'll probably try to get us to do the admin tech's job as well as our own - not that there are enough hours in the day to do that. I've seen two guys with less experience and less technical ability take the manager's role, so it's probably time to go for it myself!
