Reminds me of when the ATO didn't configure their SAN properly and lost... 1PB of data.
- jiggawatts 4y agoThat's at least two catastrophic errors: Incorrect SAN configuration and missing backups. PS: I worked at another department where they similarly misconfigured a SAN and made it highly vulnerable to multi-week outages due to even a single failed drive. I insisted they fix it, and my reward for this was seething hatred. "You're just making us do extra work!" "It's not a problem right now!" "We have other priorities!" Etc... They literally refused to touch anything that's not on fire. Merely smouldering is "fine".
- hackerfromthefu 4y agoIn my opinion this is the real root cause of the gov org dysfunctions - so many workers go there who actively resist change and improvements. They want to be mediocre/lazy at work and don't want anyone showing them up, and they don't want any change because they just want minimum effort for stable income and a pension. Not everyone maybe it's only 10-20% or whatever, but a higher percentage than in private sector, and the percentage is that high that it ruins the workplace and actively drives good workers away.
