Any VMware admins? Or IT admins
Discussion
I have just been placed in a 3rd line VMware contract which I really wanted as my previous contract was up. Good location, great day rate and exactly what I was after.
3 weeks in get approached by my new manager about helping out the automation team for vrealize. With having only worked with Vorchestrator I said I don't mind helping out.
I am now finding myself in a position that I am being moved into the automation team and replaced with another contractor in the 3rd line team
I'm not sure how I feel about it and if it's a positive move.
Any thoughts?
This is only my second contact so still finding my way
Thanks

Thought i would post back!
So i am now in the automation team. Work has been slow and i have been building out a test enviroment deployment of vRA. They seem to have a huge IAAS and PAAS environment with SCCM but are trying to do everything in vRA.
My old team, the vmware team seem to hold the keys to lots of the estate and now i am hitting road blocks when fixing or troubleshooting issues with vmware tickets which i have raised, being taken away and passed to the vmware team without my knowledge. These are all for operational issues for the vRA or vRB estate. I seem to find myself in the middle of a battle between the Automation team and the rest of what makes up IT in the company. I am also finding people resenting automation and what can be achieved with it. I automated ESXi builds with Altris in my last role and no one seems to want to automate bare metal builds even through they seem to do 5+ a week.
I was informed in my move i would be the middle man linking automation andthe vmware team together, since the move the vmware team have cut me and all my rights. Any work have to involve the vmware team and include them either shadowing my work or doing it without me. Its all very strange.
Also my contract is due for renewal in the next few days.. and i havent heard anything, i have been chasing the agent and the company and neither seem to know whats going on with it.
