I kind of disagree. Probably 80% of users are not exactly employee of the month but they probably do something.
20% can probably handle some legacy stuff that requires an old computer. Or a migration.
In addition some can be management, so they wont be making decisions for some time.
- furyofantares 4y agoPerhaps I've misunderstood, but if you're warned repeatedly that you'll lose access to your device(s) and haven't taken any action, I have to think you don't find it very important.
- db48x 4y agoThat’s not how it works. Your manager’s boss’s boss was warned a year ago that a dozen laptops used by people in his department were going to go end–of–life at the end of this month. Nobody warned you about it at all; you were just plugging away at whatever tasks were assigned to you by your manager. Your manager might have known about it but was probably only told that you would be getting a new laptop “soon”. Someone was supposed to be taking care of it, but nobody really knew who, or when, etc. So when your laptop didn’t work right this morning, you called the tech support department, who ironically were the only department who didn’t know this problem was coming.
- furyofantares 4y agoAh, yeah ok. Thanks for explaining.
- flerchin 4y agoI tend to think that was a misplay on the part of the original author. If they had notified the 1647 users that their machines would be wiped a month in advance, then a bottom up pressure to get it resolved would have occurred. Few folks are as invested in their daily work as the people who will be blocked.
- db48x 4y agoMaybe. It would certainly have stirred the pot.
