HR: "Hi, Stratjakt? This is Mindy in Human Resources, We've outsourced the programming department to a company in Bangalore. Your replacement, Raj, will be calling you today to discuss transferring over all your existing projects. Thanks for all your hard work-"
I started out working for a small software company in a small western town and we had to be very cost conscious- stretching the life on servers and workstations, skimping on licenses where we could (don't call the SBA!) all the time. When I moved into a county government position in the same town I was floored at how much I was allowed to budget for IT expenditures in a similarly sized network.
This is completely due to the fact that so many people who control the purse strings at this level of government have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what we do and therefore it's generally very easy to get approval for more and more expensive IT initiatives.
