my experience is that the management in big companies isn't nearly as interested in productivity as you would hope. they're a lot more concerned about accountability, not screwing up, not doing things that could be held against them, etc.
so i'd say it's more likely a case of valuing a different set of things.
- quoderat 18y agoYou're probably right. This is the same bank that would email around escrow account information. These accounts sometimes had $295 million dollars in them, and they emailed this info with complete account information, wire instructions and routing numbers. No encryption. Regular e-mail. Oh, the temptation. But anyway, I am not sure what they valued. It certainly wasn't security or productivity.
