I would really like to have back my THX1138 account.

Comment I've got this one. (Score 1) 181

TO: Lamar Smith RE: SOPA 3261 I am the IT Director (in your district). I have 28 years IT experience. Please cease and desist with the SOPA H.R.3261. To me the bill reads like a bad joke. Thank you for your consideration.

I do not find this comment at all interesting or insightful or what ever the mod checked.

If you give the users hard, complex stuff they will not like. These 'computers' are really workstations. The users need to be able to accomplish work. Make it hard and for what reason?

Make the behind the scenes sound like a mix of rocket science and brain surgery but the workstations are for work.

Let HR do the dirty work that they are paid. If they need to monitor then let them buy cameras and microphones. IT should not be the Internet police, ever.

Any good manager knows the slackers. Just because the slackers can use the computer should not move the problem from HR to IT. Fine if they need to use the IT policy to fire. But that should be the end of IT involvement.

Comment My users love me (Score 4, Informative) 960

Well most of my users love me. At the annual party I get cheers. Everyone complements the IT staff work verbally and in writing. Once in a while a hater will hate. Really all it takes is to treat the users like people and things will work out just fine.

I figure that out of every hundred users there is going to be at least one hater. I have three haters. If you are IT and feel disrespected it is probably by the few selfish and self-centered people. Just ignore their phobia and treat them like adults. One day they will grow up or get pushed aside.
