Based on my experience: IT was well aware it was insane. Alas, IT got absolutely no budget for fixing it from top brass, as kicking the can down the road always made more sense short-term
- Thorrez 7y agoIT of the insane company, or the acquiring company? Because the post says IT of the acquiring company didn't know until the problem blew up.
- swarnie_ 7y agoDD failed to find it during the M&A, issue didn't become apparent until the purchased company lost multiple employees who kept the plates spinning. It's a failure all round but i would say acquiring companies IT team are least to blame here.
- vezycash 7y agoFrom the article, it doesn't seem to be the fault of the IT guys. It's more like some rich guy who goes out buys a shiny used plane and hands over to the pilot to use.
- mannykannot 7y agoAccording to OP, the plate-spinning employees were 'let go' at the time of the acquisition - presumably a decision by the acquiring company.
