Brilliant and the only way to handle brigandage.
>>I call it karma!
Unfortunately its effects will be felt most directly by the thousands of craftsmen whose names roll over the big screen at the end of the show - and their families, and their communities.
Regardless of the intent, this kind of vigilante cyber terrorism is not moral or just - and will only serve to ratchet up governmental control over cyberia.
Everybody knows what’s in room 101, and who really wrote Goldstein’s book...
You mean the ones who enable big media to use our legal system (and foreign legal systems) as their own personal playthings by working with/for them.
This is why they call it Karma.
They tried that outsourcing IT thing where my wife works. They dumped the contractors and went back to in-house in less than two years. It doesn’t save a nickel long term. It just gets some bean counter a bonus. Naturally the bean counter doesn’t have to pay for the losses.
A company I worked at about 15 years ago decided it would “save money” by laying off the entire support staff and keeping only executives and technical people. Oh, except for the President’s and VP’s assistants. LOL
Everybody took turns as receptionist, which worked about as well as you might imagine. One senior exec kept getting complaints about clients receiving blank faxes. Turns out he was running them through upside down. He’d never sent a fax before!
At one point, the immediate boss and I were collating 120 notebooks for a seminar, and I pointed out that the total annual cost to the company for the two of us was no doubt over $200k. It was kind of silly for us to be doing work that could be done just as well by a temp.
Policy lasted about three months and was then quietly shelved.
In the corporate world it’s an easy way to tell Wall St that you bravely reduced head count and benefits liabilities by 15,000, for example, in order to bump or hold the stock stable.
Of course, those IT shops must still be manned so the corporation must hire back all those IT people from body shops that have sprung up to recycle those cut loose.
100,000/yr staffer = 48/hr
Contractor $100/hr with $60 to contractor and $40 to shop.
Corporate pays $208,000 ie double for the same staffer, same position.
Shrewd!
>>This is why they call it Karma.
“They” can call it whatever “they” like.
I’ll just call it North Korean cyberian terrorism.

(Disclaimer: we did seem the “Frankie Vallie and the 4-Seasons flick” at the matinee at our local theatre, sound quality was “FANTASTIC!”)
