Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs?
An anonymous reader asks: "I work in a small, overworked and understaffed IT department at a profitable business. We recently got the news that we needed to cut costs. While every penny counts, simply turning off the computers at night and saving pennies on processor cycles isn't exactly a noticeable savings. I'm curious what measures other Slashdot readers have taken to save money within their IT departments."
I might not have made it last time, but I cetainly made it this time!

doesn't cost anything and saves so much!
Yes it does. And it's even more important that at time of cost-cutting, you show the initiatives to help the company cutting costs whenever, wherever and however you can - So that your head is not on the chopping board.
How did things ever come to this? Just 5 years ago anyone who could use a computer was almost guarenteed a job, and if you could actually code? Six figures in 3 years gaurenteed.
Now these poor bastards have to worry about buying generic ink cartridges so they can save their jobs. Talk about fucking hell on wheels. I want to fucking murder every baby-boomer middle-aged republican cocksucker in this godforsaken country.
1) Fuck every dot-bomb venture capitalist asshole who gutted an entire industry.
2) Fuck every one of you who voted Bush and applauds yourself for doing so. Maybe if we hit another 8-year productivty gain we'll be able to pay off the debt this dickless faggot is dragging us into.
The government has a defect: it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect: they're pure tyrannies. -Chomsky
