At least he not a coward and is using his alias. People may fall in love with a place, and at least he is trying to improve his life abroad than being exploited back home...doing more than you probably. I also have an asian wife, and at least I do not have a fatso at home, and she is very dedicated to me. And no, I am not living in Asia. I also speak several languages and am able to read virtually all latin (based) tongues. My (asian) wife also knows 3 languages.... and then? It is a pity you are so much schooled, and still an idiot, what a waste.
The question is that exactly because of that culture, they seem able to complicate the most simple of the problems looking through the eyes of our culture. It also does no help that they say they know everything, their CV looks like far better than a Linus Torvalds, lots of IT certifications, but when your start asking them the simplest of the questions, they fall apart.
Well, it also affects my ability to do the job people lying to me or choosing to reply with half truths to save face. My culture considers that extremely rude too. The rules of engagement have to change in a multicultural world, and if I am the customer, their obligation to bend somewhat their culture is a ball on their side. Or I may take my business and wallet elsewhere.
Sure, the cloud runs itself magically, and you call Merlin when you have problems...That should be the most stupid comment I have read lately. The cloud is only outsourcing, you know? It is like you saying you dont need more mechanics because you go to the garage and leave there your car.;-P
I often can not get the mentality of wanting to have good and competent resources for peanuts. People work for a living, if customers pay, at least pay too to the people that helps running your business along. And you have summed quite nicely why I avoid working for shops whose core business is not IT, IT are viewed like some strange pumbling guys that just suck money (i.e a center cost). And then, they probably pay more to the proper plumbers...
Outgoing employees are a flaw THEIR lack of management and a flaw of their processes, and I would not even accept to hear such (lame) excuse. And if there are no savings, I would bring the IT back, at least you can make them accountable and control the process better. I have worked with Indian people in the past, or rather had competing businesses employing them, and was not really that impressed with their technical abilities. And then, it probably does not help most of those firms tend to work on the cheap. Low salaries policy dont attract the best and the brightest.
This kind of situation is unthinkable in 2014...haven't they heard about virtualisation technologies and clones before major changes (as at least a very minimum baseline?) How about pre-production system to TEST changes? Change management process? Backups? Alternative systems for disasters replicated from last week systems? If I had to guess, I would say they where hacked and could not count on backups, but then we are dealing with the government and DHS, and they are often known for not being that competent, everything is possible. I also agree we wont be anytime out of work. The only thing that worries me is that no matter how things are fucked up, and no matter how you are seasoned on the industry, often people want people to work for peanuts.
Thanks for the comment, and it is revealing you and I got modded down. What I wanted to say in an ironic way is UK is getting worse than some "fanatic" states abroad.
DevOps also have maintenance, and production, pre-production and development systems. Automating things does mean throwing standard procedures of the industry out of the window, it only means working smarter....if you want to troll discussions and denigrate people who apparently work better than yourself, at least learn how to pretend that you know what you are talking about
One question roc9xxx, with that kind of service, would you think it would be time to think to change, pay a little more and hire more responsible people, or do you thing I am being a bit far-fetched?
This is a very insightful comment, pity you posted it as anonymous. I do not mod up anonymous by policy, and often it is a waste of time to answer them. People hire techs by peanuts, get monkeys.
Forget the obvious rollback plans? At the very least working without computers, no? Or having alternative system for something so crucial...If computers are only there to complicate, than we are better off without them. The level of incompetence and lack of planning is strong in several levels.
That these breakdowns are lame excuses. If computers fails, have people forgot how to do the same process manually? It is better to halt all the flights than letting people through and risk "terrorists" flying? Are we that terrified?
Anyway, commenting again, either you are a liar, and enjoy trolling, your are an agent provocateur, or are a naive sheep. This is not about bullying, hate speech or terrorism, this is about censorship and control of the dissemination of the information. The online world is undermining the lies they are selling you in the stupid box and in the newspapers.
Think of the children?? People will always find ways to be anonymous if they want, even if they have to tunnel connections to outside UK. The Internet is a global village, and the cat is out of the bag. Furthermore, terrorists will always be terrorists, and it is a lame excuse. It is like forbiding guns, and then the only ones having guns are the criminals. It does not work at all. As for dealing with hate speach, grow a pair, and ignore what you dont want to see/read.
Why not join the catholic church and the muslim brotherhood too? I do not see any value at all joining all of these organisations, much less paying for the privilege.
He is being ironic with the "human" rights. Nevertheless, in banks and other settings, it is an huge liability to connect to anything else then your corporate network. Think about reverse tunnels, botnets and malware.

Very interesting insight sir, we often are very aware of the political problems in our backyard, but forget others have such similar problems.

Have you heard about specialisation? I can cook myself, but for plumbing or complicated electrical works I will call a specialist.

this one smells like BS even very far, far away. I change contractors on the spot.
Will they? Apparently they do not have sysadmins and are just a bunch of system operators, if that.

Maybe the "hacking" is just a lame cover up for someone selling or abusing that information.

UK will also legislate the new greeting as Assalamu alaikum next. Be prepared.
Maybe, maybe not. Will we have now a PHP compiler to binary code?
I havent blocked it, I gave up watching it in the first 15 minutes. Yup, very bad movie.
