We had way too much stuff to do.
When we made it known that the job was crap and we couldn't do it ourselves, they finally hired someone competent to test them all and label them properly.
And re-run those that were absolute crap.
The electrical contractor had done a REALLY crappy job.
I heard some scuttlebutt about it later that they half-assed the job due to not getting paid what they were promised for it.
Which, knowing that company, is completely true.
So, there's another problem down. Finally.
It got extended due to the plug ends (the ones under the desks, in the walls, etc.), not being seated properly, so when you plugged in a cable, you'd often just push it back into the box.
So you'd have to take the cover off, plug the cable in properly, and then try your best to seat it properly in the cover, so it didn't happen again.
It usually happened again.
And this whole time, we have management screaming at us to get the job done.
Never mind that it's their cheapness that's holding it back.
So we finally get everything done, all ready for the last bit of the move.
Since this is a 24-hour call center, downtime is not allowed.
Boss made a decision that was basically, "Screw that. We'll move it as fast as possible. Deal with it."
So, we show up at 4 AM, on our deadest day, to move the stuff.
Management's been made aware we're moving, we've let everyone know we're moving stuff.
No sooner do we drop the servers than we start getting angry phone calls about why nothing is working.
Boss is in damage control mode, due to management being idiots, so we're on our own for moving servers.
These servers are not light. The phone switches even less.
So, we use the rickety freight elevator to move them up the single floor. Surprisingly, it works fine without problems.
Get all the servers in place, and fire them all up.
The critical one, the phone server, starts up, starts thinking, and promptly crashes for no reason.
So we're on it, trying to fix it, and management's getting more and more aggravated.
This phone switch is a decade out of date, has been repurposed far beyond what it was intended to do, and is held together with duct tape and prayer.
We get it running, barely, and calls start coming in again.
So that's one problem down.
Did I mention we had three different phone switch systems, each with their own server?
Only ONE made it without issue.
The other one just upped and died when we moved it upstairs.
It was completely dead. Couldn't get it back up, and even when the tech who knew the system came to fix it, he couldn't get it back up.
So, we jury rigged the crap out of the backup system to handle that.
Got that going, and finally, FINALLY, everything's working like it should.
