I work in Cloud architecture and I can more or less wipe out the need for service desks, first, second and third line support just by using tools like RightScale, Puppet or Chef properly... companies like IBM and HP are still talking about cloud with a massive service wrapper around it but the truth is 98% their sorry asses can be lost for ever. Thats not out to india, thats why the **** do I want someone watching a dashboard when AWS cloud formation can just say its not working properly terminate and respawn the service in minutes...
Most of IT can now be automated completely and your average team of 200 will end up as no more than 10. Sod outsourcing ruining your career I can do it from an office in the west country. For those of you sat wondering why its not going that way where you are working is because you are already surrounded by tomorrows losers. Somewhere else there is a team doing better things faster than you can and they will eat your lunch soon.
Count the trucks rumpling around on the M11 and then think about the fact that they are 5 -10 years nearer autonomous trucks than cars now think about the services that support the wetware driving them today.
Uber are in talks to buy S-classes that are autonomous. More people screwed.
High unemployment is a given so we need to be able to find a way to support that level. Eurocrats are just another layer of money we can't afford just like that poor couple that can't survive on 200k You live on a quarter of that by cutting out the unnecessary crap. The same is coming for the rest of us...
We need Migrants today because too many people think there are better jobs out there for them. Pretty soon emptying an bin or serving a pint is going to look pretty damn enticing for a lot more people...
