Me: “Nope. Well, I’ll be glad to give you a “What’s new in IT” article once a quarter, or something. But you all will need to generate stories, or find people in the company to generate them. Then, you can upload them to the website. People like to see pictures of themselves. And read about awesome work they’ve done. You better get snapping!”

HR: “.......”

I didn’t make any friends in that meeting.


Great explanation of reality!

Yeah, the folks were reality-challenged.

Actually, they wanted "something". Didn't know what they wanted. Didn't want to do any work to maintain it once they got it.

I understand, maybe. For instance in their world a site like "Yahoo" always has fresh content on it, they just log in and it all presents itself automatically. They don't need to think about the gremlins working in the background to put all that stuff up on the screen.

I told them that they were going to be the gremlins. They didn't like that. :-)
