we cut 21%. they're asking for another 15%. we're suggesting they chill the f*ck out because this whole joint is running on IT right now. - amanda May 26, 05:38 11

- Seriously. Such is the curse of IT. Chronically undervalued. They never notice you unless something isn't working. -- nm - Open Baron May 26, 05:46 8
  - I keep telling our CIO that the reason they think they can cut is because IT is invisible to them. they don't see the value because they've never had - amanda May 26, 05:52 5
    - Tell the CIO that he has any of his requests have to be added to the IT Work Plan each January and there are no resources for more. - Walt_Disney May 26, 06:19
    - Wait til Outlook and Calendar-ing stop working...whoa boy -- nm - budice May 26, 05:55 3
      - I think the plan is to tell them that we need to move to google for productivity if they want to cut more. -- nm - amanda May 26, 06:02 2

        You can only reply to one person instead of reply all. Send 50 individual emails/invitations instead. -- nm - jnine May 26, 07:22
