    I am no more defensive than you are a big idiot. This has been an ongoing trend for ages...People think they can get without people who maintains things working, and then, depending on the quality of the work of the previous team, things go down after one year, at most two years, and they spend much more in external firms/consultants fixing the "malfunction". I have already fixed a couple of places and earned a lot of money thanks to idiots with a prejudice and lack of vision like you. And no, I dont even touch hardware or "toners", I have minions for that. Double idiot.

    Give me a car that is in the garage only once in 5 years, and I wont mind to pay the price tag. There are IT drones/fucks and then there are IT people, and guess what I do not belong to the former. As much as there are fucks in any other job, yours included. People that get all cozy, did not had the vision to go ahead, keep up with the times, and get away with the menial tasks. But guess what, the stuff does not automate yourself and does not run alone. And when it seems to run alone, is because people are doing their job. And yep, I am one of the guys that runs the "cloud", and "automates" things...I am neither angered nor worried, but I dont have the patience to answer to clowns like you that think things run by themselves, and do not respect a whole profession out of envy because they do a real job, and you probably onde produce reports and do your yes-man thing to get into the corporate ladder. And yes, I can work anywhere in the world telecommuting, and I am so wanted in the market that when I run into jerks like the posters above, I have the luxury to find a better job in a short time.

    Sure the cloud runs with gremlins, fuck yeah. I guess you also dont care about your mechanic says and use the "garage", and also do not care without you dentist says and go there once every 5 years. If you do not care what professionals advise you, you are an idiot and do not deserve competent people working for/with you. Douche bag.

    As far I have noticed, north America is headed to an apartheid in reverse if things do not change. Blacks are only 15% of population for instance, and if females truly are 5% in IT, so if you create an equal opportunity rule, you must be nuts. Than all of the white house is black nowadays. Movies irritate me, you always have to have a teacher, professor or lawyer black at least. And opening it up CNN, and having 3 black notices in the first page, including "my Kenyan marriage" makes me wonder what the fuck I am reading. Pretty soon, it will be very bad to be male and white in USA. Yep, mod me down for being unPC and rubbing the salt in the wound.

    Putting it other way. I wont put up with filling up a stupid form instead of talking with an human. Do it first thing before even talking with me, and I will walk away. This is stupid, demeaning, and a better fit for organizations like the army. And often they have a lot of repeated questions, or questions phrased in a slightly different away to make sure you are not filling it at random. Go test the patient and waste the time of a sheep. On the other hand, I dont mind a grilling interview of 3 hours of technical questions, or a good and engaging chat, or being put through the interview process of amazon with that many interviews, but always with top-notch professionals and very attentive people. And mind you the best interviewers I have found till now, make you feel very at home. I even had people going out of the way to interviewing me in Saturdays when I was out of town. P.S. I hope this anonymous response is not just an answer from the original poster.

    Maybe I have, maybe I have not. Your reasoning, and his are flawed in several ways. At the end of the day, it will drive away people already employed and with a good job. 1)Slightly more experienced and older people dont take shit as when they where in their twenties. 2) The interview is a business transaction, no one is doing me (us) a favour 3) I expect respect as much as I expect to be respected. I bet they would not also like me to give them a senseless 10 page form to fill up about the company 4) I am already giving them my resume. My time is precious, and it is unfair to make me waste a couple of hours filling a long form/and or converting it to their internal format for them to present me to their customers *before* they hire me. 5) I wont put up with stupid requirements from the HR, And with stupid people. They reflect the imbalance of an organization which I am quite sure I do not wish to integrate. 6) If me as a seasoned professional, wont have the respect of HR, or even wont have the insight of being interviewed by someone with more IQ points and/or a rookie consultant interviewing me, you already lost points on an interview. I may decide it will be better to stay where I am, or to go to a competitor.
