Yes, but unlike you I can carry off purple shoes and tight leather trousers in the office.

Were the trousers intended to be tight on normal-sized people?

Get a uk contractor for remote working!

You must be getting ready to move by this point in the week.

[Old Greg]

Eh? I'm the one carrying the can. I can't hire idiots they may show me up.

It's more likely that bright people will show you up.

I have 90 to review for 5 new positions(3 perm/2 contract). I am of the opinion that US contractors are fooking useless. The resumes you get.

The problem is you can't blag a blagger. I know too much.

MF, you've been a contractor, so you know the routine; blag it, learn it, deliver it. Why do you now expect something different from contractors?

That statement, albeit clumsy, is perfectly sound. It smells like it was cribbed from a technical article and then reworded to cover ones tracks.

Stop defending it, it was a load of bollocks. Oh, and next time try not to put yourself down as a project manager, I saw through that one as well.

It sounded like total bulltulip regurgitated by a moron.

I didn't know it was from a cv - I thought it was just MF.

Consider this. If a business lost it's core suite of applications, but still had it's data it could still function. Hire a team of data processing clerks, go to paper based. You could still function, albeit at an alarmingly reduced speed.

If the same business had it's core suite of applications but lost it's data? Game over.

Yet in pretty much every gig I have been in in 17 years the sheer contempt for data quality has been the one constant.

Around 3 gigs ago I did a data migration to SAP. I pointed out that the 16 million pound spend would be cheapened slightly if you didn't spend 6 months or so cleaning up the data. I was ignored and we loaded the same garbage to SAP. 16 million pound garbage in, garbage out system.

So imagine my surprise when I say this guy being interviewed for the SAP user group, waxing lyrical about data being the lifeblood of the business, and how he had worked extremely hard to cleanse the data and put in a master data management plan etc etc. This stuffed suit used to avoid meetings and when challenged just shrug and say "It's just dayda" in his phoney mid atlantic drawl.

He was universally hated and a total knob.

" I strive to seek out the correct data to support business decisions, communicate it in a meaningful
way, and quantitatively measure its success or failure to guide future decisions. My favorite question to ask is
“Why?” and my favorite phrase to combat is “We do it like that because we’ve always done it that way”. "
