@gary_alderson I'm thinking there is a lot of calling around to get on-the-ground help for companies with remote workers back up, for sure. @ai6yr @ai6yr I used to work for a multinational, we had the largest privately owned intranet in the world once, US to Australia & almost every country in-between Good luck telling them to do that @XerShadowTail @ai6yr Yah, I'm seeing no movement on the FIRMS map now, so I suspect we just lost the picture of how some of the fires around me are growing In the days of Y2K we would send out code/instructions for manufacturing bootable floppies to be couriered to every team /office and quickly passed around in the morning after. Field operatives phoned up and told to rendezvous with managers at usual burger joint. That way one delivery does 10 - 1000 fixes using no local IT team In these days of uncontrolled update/patch delivery, no accessible USB drives and locked down BIOS it's a self inflicted problem for the next IT convention Me, having recently been laid off from an outsourcing firm in New Delhi: hahaha, oh man my old employer is so fucked right now Hmm, apparently I should just copy/paste @hammancheez posts since they are no longer posting here for virality, LOL. (449 retoots and 675 likes so far today, which probably translates to a hundred thousand actual views or more -- based on the typical ratio of retweets/stars on the old birdsite). |
@ai6yr sadly thatβs most of them
