Whose bright idea was this? Piss off 90% of your sys admins? This is a hilariously bad move.

- zhemao 13y agoWell, it's probably the 10% they didn't fire that they have to worry about now.
- eliasmacpherson 13y agoNo I doubt that, these are sys admins? Unless they wipe everything and start over?
- kbenson 13y agoThis is where all those psychological profiles they did at the interview stage pay off. At least, that's what they are banking on.
- samstave 13y agoRecall that the CIA really likes to hire Mormons for their loyalty [1]. I'd be REALLY interested in knowing what % of the remaining sys ads are Mormon.

- eliasmacpherson 13y agoIf that is so and the last 10% are as you suggest, surely that's discrimination for nonconfmormance?
- zhemao 13y agoI mean worry about more than the 90% who have been fired and (presumably) don't have access to NSA computers anymore. Also, I don't think leaking NSA secrets is the main problem. I think their main problem will be finding and retaining talent. Why would you go work a government job like this if you don't even have job security. It's not like there's a shortage of demand for sysadmins in the private sector.
- stasmo 13y agoWell on the bright side, at least they don't have to worry about their ex-sysadmins becoming whistleblowers.
- eliasmacpherson 13y agoI don't get it. Their newly ex-sysadmins might well be motivated to blow whistles. There's still a 'Snowden is overstating the case' contingent out there.
- pyrocat 13y agothat's the joke
