Obne bumps a 14 year old thread and gets serious replies?

What is CUK coming to?

[darmstadt]

they made a decent mainframe once, but big blue soon put a stop to that.

What this one:

BS2000 Mainframes - Fujitsu CEMEA&I

Tell me my old Lizard friend, what first attracted you to the Socialist Nirvana that is your average Higher Education Establishment?

Increasingly elderly parents requiring care making working away a bit problematic.

It was bad enough being summoned by a phone call from Ystradgynlais without the trauma of having to drive back from the other side of the country.

Had I realised how unbearably tedious it would turn out to be I might have rethought the decision.

To be fair, before the feckwhit H&S bint took away the ability to make PCBs it was bearable, after that it really was 2 years of purgatory attempting not to kill people.

The best bit of the lot was seeing the Dissector of Human Remains dismissed for incompetence.

It really made my day since he was the **** who managed to give me my first written warning in 45 years.

Not that I bear a grudge of course.

He'd just better hope I don't get something painful and slow.

Worked there in 2012-13
Horrible
rate (which wasn't too great to start off with) reduction half way trough (recovered to old rate when I was extended though)
Long totally unnecessary late night meetings
Programme ended in chaos and the impact on the general public on some BBC consumer radio show

I wonder if he/she/it ever found out what Fujitsu were like in 2005.

I was 3 months into the purgatory of working in Eyer Edjumakashen at the time.

The true horror of it all hadn't yet struck me.

there was a rather good restaurant (the Blue room?) near their factory in Newton Aycliffe. Their generator rooms are impressive.

2003, not something I recall with fondness.

The client had a member of staff, and she was jaw dropping beautiful. Like 1 in a million beautiful.

Their manager calls a 10am meeting each day and spends an hour staring at her tits. I'm like "he is just doing this to look at her tits", then she starts turning up for the meetings sitting with the seat reversed so the back is covering her front. Couple of days later she says "I am doing that to stop him looking at my tits"

How many more reasons until NAT gets triggered?

[BR14]

wasn't that ICL?

nah, amdahl and fujitsu made mainframes that ran ibm MVS <sort of>
ICL were much older, suffered from the british disease of no investment.

I worked for Fujitsu at Thomson Reuters via Lorien back in 2010-11. Had no problems at all

Anyone have any experience of working for their consulting division here in the UK? What are they like? What are they paying in terms of contract rates and permie rates for business analysts, architects and project managers?

Thanks.
