    At my current gig we they sometimes get Accenture in to do some of the software development. If the developers spent half as much time learning to code properly and half as much time learning how to make word documents look really flash we would be much better off.

    The code is a steaming pile of horse manure, but by god do we have a lot of wizzy looking documentation. And thats what keeps senior management very happy.... and then when the applications fall over and we need to fix them, they wonder why it takes so long... we look like tulip, consultancy looks good.. its a funny ole world.
    All about ass covering. I would love to own a big consultancy but only idiots work for one.

      hey, i resemble that comment!

      the big consultancies do occasionally post you overseas for several months and put you up in a fancy hotel, with a massive living allowance though. my last company (a big consultancy) did that and my effective take home increased by 60%, and the only thing i had to pay for was food.
