Fluff On The Internet.
A whole lot of nothing

The Corporation

06 December 2005 - 15:43 .

As some of the three of you may know, I work for a manufacturing company in Richmond. And as much as I prefer the private business world to the public sector, there are serious issues with it sometimes.

The biggest problem I see is that the company executive have this habit of acting first, and thinking later. Now, a lot of what we do is controlled or affected by technological factors - computers control much of the machinery that's used in the manufacturing process. And 3 guesses who fixes those computers when something goes awry... and believe me, they do.

So it consistently amazes me when the powers that be with my firm fail to take technology into consideration when making business decisions. And then when I'm unable to snap my fingers and make things all better, they get pissed, and bemoan the fact that it's taking me so long to get their beloved systems up and running. Maybe if the they actually cared, they'd ask the IT group first whether a thing is possible, rather than finding out that it isn't and paying through the nose to try to get things working after the fact.

Thank you. I feel better now for having vented.
