Every single merger says something to this effect.
It's like how the cops can lie to bust you, companies can lie to get what they want. Not like they don't own the whole of Congress anyways.
Doesn't matter, tried that and the 1.1.1.1 service. None help, must be having issues either with that port on their network or something along those lines.
I wonder if they are under DDOS.
I ended up working for a place that wins these contracts for IT services. A group of around 400 of us had to make the decision to go or not, pretty standard. What we didn't know in the next 12-18 months was that they were moving most of those jobs to offshore locations like Brazil, Argentina, India.
I was asked to go to one of these countries to train the team there, said no and started looking for another job. They were going to be laying of most of the outsourced team in the US it turned out and leave 1-2 people in the US to oversee them.
Fast-forward 5 years later and that same shop did not re-sign that contract and brought everything back in-house. It would appear that the typical offshore/outsource scenario happened - they move the work to offshore, those people implement a few changes, a mistake is made, they get their ass handed to them over a few conference calls, they stop making ANY changes and call the 1-2 people still in the US non-stop 24/7/365 to have THEM make the changes or berate them into doing it until those people burn out and leave thus rendering the offshore/outsourcer useless because they won't do anything. The original outsourced company doesn't care because they have made their nut and know that if said company cancels the contract, the outsourcer reaps a fat termination fee.
The tact of most outsourcing companies is to undercut everyone else's bid, make sure the company doing the outsourcing doesn't add a provision into their contract that all jobs must be kept in the US or Canada (which is a valid provision and costs more) and then offshore it all as fast as possible without trying to piss off the company that just signed the contract to get past any cancellation period then bam, they have them.
This same scenario continues to play out until these companies wise up and see that outsourcing ends up costing them more in the long-run as they burn up their own employees that oversee either the outsourced contract, admins or both.
As someone who drove the 405 and these streets that are being discussed, "these" people that live on these streets must be high. This happens periodically in LA, especially around the 405 and always seemed to be cyclical. Some days the side streets would be better than others but the bottom line is the 405 (and the 10, 101, 110, 5 to name a few others) is basically useless at this point. Short of making it about 20-25 lanes across, nothing will alleviate the traffic on or near the 405 (ok - maybe flying cars:0 )
The Reps continue to treat science, scientific facts and data as hokum, as Sheldon would say. Remember, some of them think humans lived with dinosaurs...
This is hardly surprising, Microsoft really pissed off the OEMs by producing their own hardware (which they usually do very poorly, i.e. Kin) in this space. Sure a re-branded keyboard or mouse here or there is no big deal but when they go out and try replacing the entire ecosystem, they HAD to know there was going to be backlash.
They are without a doubt, the worst tech (if not the worst overall) company out there. Mis-managed and without a care for the US worker. I'm not surprised they would do this, I'm sure the pressure on them from outside influences, including the US gov't, was making their green-lined pockets "feel" lighter. I was outsourced to IBM so I didn't have much choice at the time. They offshored 85% of my team to Argentina, and at that point I left. Never buy an IBM product if you can help it.
Why trust anyone you have onsite? Do you plan on standing over them the entire day? Do you still wear a 3 piece suit to work and drink martinis at lunch?
Remote is the most efficient way to have someone do a lot of work in a short amount of time, especially off-hours work that most people forget about. Don't be stuck in the 90s.

Just like how the FDA relies on the drug companies to run all the tests, submit supporting docs, etc.
The guy is an industry stooge and shill. Are we surprised any longer at what this moron does? Moron is as Moron does, that's what Momma used to say...
Have used it exclusively for 2 years, maybe only downside is on the Images search. Otherwise, no issues finding what you need.
I think we need an android upgrade for POTUS, the current model seems to be malfunctioning

This was the case at one company that I worked and ran their Postfix servers that handled the Internet traffic. It was pretty nuts...
+1 BS indeed. 225 people, seriously? They probably have EIEIO certificates out the wazoo but no real-world experience. Change control, what's that?
Best tagline ever for an app...
Isn't this exactly what clothing retailers (and most others) do during the holidays or any other major sale? Isn't this pretty well known by now?

Yet, in firms like IBM, it is OK to do it internally. No uproar about that, sure, OK, whatever. Pick and choose what looks best...
