- justinator 8mo agoThat's not the IT department's problem. Well, they'll get blamed, but that's pretty on-brand for IT departments.
- IncreasePosts 8mo agoIt's not the IT department's fault, but it makes one wonder if the IT department needs to actually be that large, since customers need to do so much on their own. Per capita the UK has 2.5x the IT workers in tax collection compared to the US (~25 IT per million vs 65 IT per million). But, those tax collection IT workers help create a system which means UK citizens don't spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year just to file their taxes.
