If you work in IT you're just making yourself outdated.
I've worked for a few Global 500 companies in the last couple of years and they only just finished upgrades to Win 7 last year and are NOT about to upgrade again for a few more years.
Say around, oh, 2020.
But thanks for the advice.
most people on here will once again blast 300+ million people because of our government of the 1%ers for the 1%ers with the peons having to pick between two different only in rhetoric 1%er clubs.
Who keeps electing them? Tooth fairies? Good candidates run but they really never the votes because gay lover commienism!
When anything is reduced to a commodity, it seeks to find its lowest cost level.
The amount of recorded music from the last 100 years has reduced music to a literally disposable commodity.
Oversupply does this to anything. Anything. Only artificial scarcity keeps prices from hitting rock bottom.
But I've been reading the articles -- do Millennials really prefer badges and points to monetary awards?
Of course not, but management sure as does. For their underlings, that is.
And as this is now SOP for most companies, what choice does anyone have?
Also, most millennials I've worked with are more than willing to accept this bullshit, even to the point of willing to work for free thinking this will win them spectacular ass kissing points. And of course, it does, until they are rudely kicked to the curb.
That sounds unbelievably "coincidental".
Unbelievable? That's pretty SOP in the U.S. I've seen it literally thousands of times. Intel is laying off mostly older workers in Portland Oregon right now. (search news) Yes, they are talking about age discrimination lawsuits.
But it's kind of hard to hire a lawyer when you don't have a job.
And US based companies wonder why there is no loyalty anymore.
They never wondered. They just don't care. Most business management treat business as a right, not an opportunity that can be taken away at any time, and customers as just an impediment to their money and think the customers AND employees owe them a living.
Banks are even worse.
It seems their operation is more complicated than it needs to be.
But I see that a lot these days. Staff is hired not based on streamlining the processes and making it more efficient, (stated goal by mgt) but in how well they can manage the tangle that is upper managements latest pet. (real agenda but hidden while lip service paid to former)
Prediction: is Graze ever becomes non-viable, the data process will become the real meal ticket.
