I work for a banking group. Top 3 private bank in my country, top 3 in HQ's country. I couldn't agree more, even though I believe that "...Technologists are second class citizens in banks..." is an understatement. You wouldn't believe the money we throw away in technology and software development only for political reasons. I have enclosures full of servers and storage that have been waiting for conectivity for more than a year. We've decommissioned high end storage after their lifetime was over and they have never seen a byte! This is not in special circumstances, it's normal. All this and we're still making money like nobody. I fear that someday we'll be bought by someone competent, then we are fucked, because we couldn't stop the morons (or delinquents) that burned all this money for nothing.
