Bigger point (Score 2)

I think this brings up a bigger point or perhaps a few. I don't argue for a second that most the reports might be from employees who just left the company. But what I don't agree with is the person themselves didn't keep the licenses up to date. They might have been responsible on paper but did they have the budget, process and resources to do it, this is the key question. I've seen it more times than I wish to recall that a new project or new employee is brought on board and the IT person has only a couple of hours to get them setup. No time for new keys and no budget for this new persons IT resources. If at the start of the year I'm told I need 100 licenses for a piece of software I'll get it. If half way though the year the company expands and we now need 200 I can almost say for certain in most companies I've worked in (small companies) they will not give me the budget for the extra 100 and the IT department will have to cut costs somewhere else or just not buy. It might even been why the employee left the company in the first place and why they are ratting on their old company. Seams like a perfect payback to a poorly managed company.
