Goodbye

Posted by: Minh Nguyen on 03 June 2015

Time to say goodbye to those that I have become acquainted with during my time on this forum.

It appears that people can openly discuss their experiences with Chord STA and other third party accessories but my contributions seem to be censored and deleted.

I will now find another home to share my experiences. My user name will be the same.

Thank you to everyone who has been of assistance and I wish you all the best for the future.

Dry maybe but oh so hot.

There was a young fellow named Nimh

Who committed this forum's great sin

He thus had to announce

He'd be off with a flounce

But we all knew he'd soon be back in.

That happened in some of companies for whom I worked - I think it's a common failing in UK companies.  Sadly there are few naturally talented managers, and the UK commercial environment encourages short termism, just tactically seeking the next pound without any true vision.

 

It seems to be the techies who manage to keep focus on the present while also keeping an eye on the future.

 

Sadly many of the professional managers I have met have an unshakeable faith in their own limited view: they refused to learn the technicalities of the business (I've been told "I don't need to understand the technology to be able to manage it!") and wouldn't even take advice.

 

The other mistake is to "promote" techies to line management positions - then they understand the technology but are useless at managing the people!

Holy s**t - you MUST be writing about where I work now...at a Fortune 15 healthcare infrastructure company's Enterprise Solutions software division.  Where the "good old boys" who run it are generally clueless, yet are the ones who have steered the division towards the rocks, and when they run aground, will line up a bunch of privates and shoot them in the finest tradition of the French Foreign Legion.

Interesting members like yourself have convinced me to stay. I guess this forum has always been my home: I just didn't realise it until now.

Minh, 'Be seeing you' was the term used by those who inhabited the Village who could not escape, referenced by jfritzen... And that is No6 under the 'Rover', in the photo above and No6 be seeing you below, but of course he believed he was not a number but a free man.. But he was in fact the Prisoner.

 See you back on the forum.
