Dear IT guys...

[Daftbrown]

It's a finance company. If you ever watch the news and see a share price ticker, you'll see their name. All I can say I'm afraid.

Yo yo, Uh-huh. Yeah...
Yo NASDAQ better clean yo' comms
Dat stack is whack.

Byatch, you better check yo' own
No stealin' mah tunder
I'm da M-F'ing FTSE one-hunder'.

I was envisaging some sort of stock exchange rap-battle centred around their respective attitudes towards server rooms but rather lost my way. I'll let you lot finish it off whilst I grab my coat. Must get some air...

Encountered similar issues in a large orange supermarket I used to work for, only after they had installed a fancy new CCTV system did they realize it was over the other side of the room to the UPS and so an extension lead was trailing across the floor. Network cabinets so badly wired up that the doors wouldn't close, redundant kit rather than being removed just left to gather dust!

Any of us left rooms like that there would be a swift foot up the arse sending us rapidly out the door - and quite rightly so.
Disgusting, not even cool when its temporary as well as its still amateurish to leave like that.

The company I work for would get freaked out over the taking of those pictures rather than the mess itself.

When I showed the office manager she almost fell over.

From the aforementioned holes in the floor, yeh?

If you tell an IT guy to do something he will do it, you don't need to keep opening tickets about it every 6 months, seriously.

I guess ours aren't proper IT guys then, despite being an internationally well-known business machine company... They still haven't done any of the jobs we raised over a year ago!

Did they give you permission to take those photo's? Most of the customers I visit would not be happy about publishing their comms room photo's!

There's only one reason for that, there are clearly no KPI's
