To me, it sounds like a company who is still working with the mentality of 90s. The same I'm facing at work, where new technology is treated as scary and there's fear of change something that (somehow, only God knows how) is working and none is allowed to touch such things
- HereBeBeasties 8y agoNew technology is scary. It should be scary. If you don't find it scary you're probably not looking at it right. It's usually full of risk, which if you are in management (or a remotely responsible employee) needs to be evaluated and if possible contained, and ultimately needs to pay for itself (i.e. Offers a pay-off that more than outweighs the risk). If we are honest with ourselves, most new tech in this industry totally fails that litmus test. There are an awful lot of shiny-bauble chasers and snake oil salesmen both inside and outside companies. I don't know what your precise situation is and obviously it's very much a spectrum rather than black and white, but a healthy aversion to promises made by the authors and salespeople of relatively unproven new things is extremely valuable.
