David,

Some time ago, when Zeus was going through a difficult phase and we were
experiencing layoffs, the last sysadmin to work for Zeus was let go: At that
time, I agreed to cover such of the system administration tasks as I could
as a stopgap measure until a new system administrator could be hired. Since
then, although Zeus has re-expanded and there are now greater demands on the
system administrator, especially in the area of windows end-user support
(which is not my field at all and one I am not at all comfortable covering)
there has been no indication (despite meeting several times to discuss this
problem) that this situation is going to change: Indeed, every move made
indicates that there is to be a permanent and significant shift in my job
description to cover mainly those duties which I do not wish to do, am not
good at or knowledgeable about, and did not sign up for in the first place,
not having been hired as a sysadmin.

As a result, I do not believe that I am effective in my current role(s), nor
do I believe I could be - this has caused a certain degree of unhappiness in
me and a obvious dissatisfaction in those who need IT work done.

Since I do not feel, under these circumstances, that I can be effective or
productive, and this situation benefits no-one, I have decided to tender my
notice of resignation, effective as of today.
