IT people should take over the world.

I know it sounds diabolical and meglomaniacal, but likely, we would be all hideously rich.

Think about it, while i am not in favor of unions, if IT people world wide united and formed a large international union, we could literally bring the world to a screeching halt by 4pm today.

What are your thoughts? if this is something that we as a site want to move forward with, please lets discuss that as well.

 

Erm, yeah... sooo... you want to take over the world.

lol that would make a good flyer title.. "So you want to take over the world" :-D

I'm pretty sure anyone who agree's with you will be in the cell next to you :-D

Wanna know whats even more scary?.... Grocery stores could do the same thing... no food!!

 

I thought 'they' already did. He's called Bill Gates.rolleyes

 

So, every time a new conflict would occur we could just reboot?? :-D

 

As long as you're picky about who you let join. The IT people at a site I used to frequent need to be drawn, quartered, tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail.

And there already is an IT union.

 

Ha ha...very clever....

Point taken also to the poster about Grocery Stores...though I thought TESCO and Wal-Mart formed a confederation of evil grocery chains that enslaves us all to cheap crap manufactured in China and oversized tubs of butter.

 

We know. That was the whole reason we created the internet a couple of decades ago. :major

 

When you say we, you mean all of us with Al Gore in charge and being chief architect right?

 

Bah. Everyone knows how it really happened. That was just a smoke screen.

 

After many years of working, I've found that accountants really rule the world. They think only about the bottom line and don't really know much about how to run a business.

How many businesses have they sunk by simply cutting staff ,or implementing ideas, without much further thought.

In one instance, I found a one million dollar error in Inventory, in a mining business I joined, within 4 days of starting because Accountants signed off on Inventory conversion factors when introducing a new SAP IT system. Instead of properly converting meters (metres) to rolls, they simply altered the Store unit from rolls to meters, thus 150 rolls became 150 meters at the roll price, per meter. :-D Blew the Inventory value out by 1 million dollars.

In another instance, another mob of accountants, insisted on a annual stocktake in an African firm I worked for, that hadn't had a stocktake in many years. It virtually shut down the mine for 3 weeks while the anomolies were sorted out, instead of, say, counting and reconciling, 100 items per day.

Very subtle, but most excellent, Halo! :-D

 

I don't want to rule the world so much as I want a job.

 

I don't see it as IT people taking over the world I see it as the world taking over IT.

Its not fair,computers used to be places where we could slink off into our own misunderstood, intellectually superior self satisfied world.

Now we're just normal.

:-D

 

Speak for yourself. I'm still unique and superior.

 

Your definitely unique,superior is a comparative term:-D

 

Compared to you, "superior" is an established fact

 

You don't hold back do you Mimsy:-D

 

Never! At least not with people I know can take it.

And back-handed as that might be, it's still a compliment of sorts.

 

Thanks,I deserve it anyway I threw the first stone just to keep you on your toes

And I can't find Tim:-D

 

I am always on my toes. It's a side effect of not owning shoes that don't have high heels.

 

I know I am superior since it says so right on my leg. :-D

Well, you know what they say: "if you have to spell it out..."

Notice how nice I am by not pointing out that the picture is of your LEFT leg... LOL

 

Well since you were so nice, I wont mention that I said "right on my leg" not "on my right leg".

 

Oooo, being a smartypants, are we...? Or is that smartyshorts? :confused

I swear, one of these days I will learn not to post after lots of vodka! LOL

 

If you drink enough vodka you'll pass out, then I can write things on your forehead so you can post pictures on the internet and declare that just because you have it written on your body that means you're that thing. Then you will be epic.

Here's your mushroom stamp.

 

I already am epic! And superior! And awesome!

Hmmm. Should I stop posting now...? *checks level on vodka bottle*

 

well, I think we are all pretty epic and superior.

and the more I deal with job recruiters, the more this opinion is reinforced. at least with my own epic-ness and superiority. I mean, I have at least mastered the most basic of reading and reasoning skills. My posting here is proof of that, whereas I am not so sure of even the ability of some of these idiots to breath on their own. I am pretty sure that a couple of them have to have audio tapes to coach them along with the mental strain of whole inhale - exhale thing.

 

:-D It can be tough,I find the problems start when the air catches the vocal cords though.
