    Another coffee break

    Two weeks into my first contract I still have no network login.

    Fast paced world of investment banking.

    had to laugh heard a guy on LBC from BT Infrastructure IT saying how good it was before it was outsourced, remember took weeks to get anything.

      Typical bloody private sector inefficiency.

        Always reminds me the story of a guy I knew started with a bank and all his equipment and logins were waiting for him on gig day 1. The worrying false sense of efficiency soon abated when he tried logging in and they'd set all his profiles wrong which still had a 5 day lead time to rectify.

          maybe they're short administrators.
          Probably because there are no futures in user provisioning.

            Probably went long on passwords?

              Social services contracts, normally all sorted in 48 hours.

                My current NHS gig, I got the call to see if I was available on the Friday lunchtime, started 9 a.m. on Monday and my log in was waiting for me.

                  7th day completed, no login. Retail sector.

                  Not worried though as everyone uses everyone elses account anyway.
