An Australian gentleman's opinion on the IT Industry...

[sbakoola]

Careful... don't play this on a client site it has profanity...

Despite the humour in these videos there is some underlying truth in what he states with ageism and bad decisions.. what do you think ...?


His network admin experience with a small retailer..


His general opinion on the IT industry

A reenactment of his employers decision

Holy tulip - sooo glad I got myself sorted so soon, as this could have been me!!

His style stinks, he's a through and through techie with an over inflated sense of importance and no idea of how IT is simply a tool for the business.
I love the "pat on the back" he got out of the MD for his neat and tidy cabling

He needs to work with the business to work out the risk and possible cost issues of any down time rather than shouting and calling them idiots

He's right in a way. Its probably the only industry where every 2-3 years a new way of doing the same thing comes out that you have to learn, usually its slower and worse than the old way of doing it.

Its also a skill that a lot of people with no real knowledge or experience can have a go at and do badly.

Though surprisingly the everyday people 18-25 seem to know as little about computers as the 35+ age group. I cant understand it as they have surely used a computer all through school, very strange to me.

WHS. I've got it playing in the background. He's so full of his own self importance it's cringy. What a whinging twat.

Plenty of people drive cars for years, yet don't know something as simple as how to top up the windscreen washer liquid.
