Best paid role ever?

[Sysman]

' You will be required to oversee the migration carried out by a third party and identify any immediate problems or issues'

I can do that. Feet up on the desk, cup of coffee and a spot where I can 'oversee', do 5 minutes of teting per day and any immediate problems are identified.

I can see it happening now. They pay you half an hour a month to oversee it, on a fixed price basis. When it all goes to pot, you get to do the entire job yourself.

yep you just distance yourself from there undoubted cock ups as long as you really did "tell them" what they were doing was crap, offered a solution and have let the project manager know then its all good.......



or so you'd think

The offshorers will do it but you will carry the can and you'll have to fix it.

NO, you only have to ‘oversee’ the bloody mess they make; the hands on bit is open to interpretation.
