Re: Unionization - a root cause
Worldwide, the IT profession is getting fucked worse every year. Wages are not keeping up with ever increasing skill requirements. Nobody has job security. Those that think they do are getting rude surprises every day.
Yet IT now controls EVERY aspect of the technological world. So why are IT worker still getting fucked?
This will continue as long as the IT world is still made up of rugged individual cowboys. Unionization is inevitable. We hang together or we will surely hang alone.

Accenture sued over website redesign so bad it Hertz: Car hire biz demands $32m+ for 'defective' cyber-revamp

Re: Blame those who said web design was software development
You've got it backwards. Ever since website building was considered software dev, we've got programmers who add so much cruft everything turns into a resource hog.
Low load, high performance website building was mastered in the last decade. All you had to do was throw faster servers and switches at your traffic growth. You could scale up fast. Now? Broken, non-compliant, non- standardized code and scripts everywhere.
Do I blame programmers specifically? Not really, just cheap overseas ones (or inexperienced college interns) that everyone now uses.
Oh, and the fucking marketing department as always.

Re: Any blame on Hertz for not actually being in charge?
You would be surprised at just how small the IT departments are at many, many large companies.
Every damn thing is outsourced. The permanent staff are busy putting out fires or mired in pointless meetings. Or about to get fired and replaced by... outsourcing. Or their workload increases beyond reasonable and safe limits. Generally, all three.
The great collapse is coming. People have no clue how vital IT is to the modern world and are literally cutting their own throats.

Re: Wow!
Having been at a very large company that ended our contract in favor of Ass-enter and thus I had to interview with them in hopes of staying with the company, I'm not the least bit surprised.
Ass-enter hires the cheapest IT people who have impressive resumes and shit work ethics, they can find, bogs them down with meetings and metrics, all in an atmosphere of modern tech hipster-ism.
They are IBM's counterpart.

I'm not surprised
Having done a brief stint for a government body, the number one problem is under-staffing and lack of adequate funding.
It's also why they keep getting successfully hacked.
Government has yet to understand the critical role of computers in modern society, let alone how to use them efficiently. Been there, seen it.
Prepare yourselves for Windows 10 May-hem. Or is it June, no, July?

Heritage Foundation
It's apparent many of you here are not familiar with The Heritage Foundation.
They had and still have very big hand in the current state of the U.S. They literally helped create it. The are as far right as it gets.
They are the problem, not some "opposing view that needs to be respected." So hell yes it was right complain about their representative.
