Sharing IT Problems with Executives?

Posted by Cliff on from the doing-your-job-and-not-getting-fired-in-the-process dept.

dicey asks: "Later this week all of the IT department at my company (50-80 people) is having a dinner with the company President and VP/CIO. One major reason for this is so that they can get a better understanding of what is going on in IT and how it impacts the company overall. Ideally, with the ideas and sharing, these guys will have a better appreciation for us, adjust our budgets appropriately, and help us in our business. However, many of us are wary to speak about what is going on because it will inevitably reveal problems with the company. We are worried about what we discuss coming back to our directors ultimately to bite us. I am curious what my fellow Slashdot readers have done in similar circumstances, where there is a great chance to let someone high up in your company know of problems so that they can be rectified, but whereby revealing them you may get hurt in the process."

      Is it just me, or is Gollum like really sexy? I can only imagine the nice, round pair of beautiful balls under that rag he wears, only to be complimented with a beautiful, fleshy cockshaft, his precious cum being squirted into my wating mouth as I suck his dick. I've got a different kind of ring he can wear, but not on his finger... *grin*

    Darn, I thought putting "first post" in the subject was an automatic -1. I didn't want anyone to wast their mod points on that. Is there any other way to get modded down automaticlly.
