If you accept a job that requires such mindless bullshit, then you're going to get constant mindless bullshit in return, no matter what kind of pretense you cook up. The only winning move is not to play.
- dasil003 16y agoGotta disagree on this one. This is all about the higher-ups' opinion of you. In most businesses technology is not a competitive advantage, and the brass doesn't understand how it could be; they just use industry-standard templates for applying technology. If you come in as someone whose job it is purely to implement such a template then you are simply a replaceable cog, no different than the 20 bookkeepers that the new accounting system replaced. On the other hand, if you come in able to really talk about the business and offer solutions at the level of upper management, then your value will be much more obvious to the people who matter.
