Yup. Nothing like using a dude for a nice PR video and then sending him to the chopping block. If it wasn't for bad class the Raiders would have no class at all...

The chopping block happened BEFORE the video

The IT guys are always last to get the memo.

Could this be their way of attempting to one-up Wendy's?

Pegula to Mark Davis:

“Hey, can you help take some of the pressure off us?  We’re getting killed here.”

 

Mark Davis: “I’m on it!”

I feel like NFL teams do stuff of this nature all the time. It’s just more comical when the train wreck known as the Raiders do it.

Oh BS. They get it first. Disconnect and firewall access to the firee. It's amazing how Hardline big corporations go or companies with a lot of trade knowledge.

When someone is let go, yes.  We know before it even happens but anything else and we are an afterthought.

in that regard yes. it's funny how insular IT folks make thesmelves and how they're put in the back of closets, etc. and they love it.

 

we are hiring 3 IT positions in the company i work for and it's amazing how much we have to offer. we are a very strong growing company with incredible fringe benefits but no one is jumping at the IT positions we have other than underqualified people.

That's because we hate people. 😆

 

In my situation, it's more related to building renovations that happen on a fairly regular basis, say a few rooms per year, and all of the infrastructure, designed and budget are determined before we catch wind of the project from hearsay and have to contact the project manager to ask them if we need to be involved for any IT specs/installations of equipment.

 

This usually ends up putting the project behind by a few weeks when they have been planning things months prior.

Agreed! For the most part we do hate people. Mostly because they never listen, break crap and then deny breaking it, and in general think that we don't do anything but sit at a desk and watch lights blink and type on a keyboard. I just look at them as the people that keep us IT folk employeed.

 

I think most IT people are in the same boat when it comes to corporate projects. We are always the last to know and sometimes aren't told until the company has spend hundreds of thousdands if not millions of dollars for software and then they just expect us to set it up without knowing project requirements, target goals, or even specs for running said software. We are basically the Maytag repair man. Invisible until something breaks.

As someone in IT sales - its such a challenge.  Need CIO and CTO approval for larger projects.  IT teams meet with our engineers, scope everything out.  The layer above them then balks at price and wants to rip out all the things they asked for, then it goes up to the CIO and they need to hit a different budget.  

 

So we spent all this time proving stuff out, and then the customer buys like 1/3 the solution and the CTO wonders why nothings automated and everything is delayed.

This post probably got scheduled a week ago.
