Mike Sarokin of EDS lays out a few questions a new teenager likely asks (or certainly thinks about) as a new employee.
Here's a few more that come to mind:
- Why are there so few Macs in this office? - Why do so many people get cc'ed on so many emails? - And yet, why is mailbox capped at 100mb. Can I forward some stuff to Gmail which gives me 5 GB for free? - Wow - l got a tour of the massive data center. My school supported more students than we have employees, but we had a tiny data center - Why don't we use Skype to call people around the world? - Can I not just text message someone's cell phone rather than dial his pager? - Everyone does not have a personal blog? We do not have a group wiki? - Why do we pay technology industry analysts? Can we not research everything on Google? - Are USB and Bluetooth devices banned around here? - You kidding me - those fat manuals are for training for the system? Can I have them in MP3 files for my iPod or see a tutorial video on-line? - Ignore my ignorance but isn't SOA just a complex mashup? - How come our skills database does not allow for me to enter my Ruby and PHP credentials? - When I come back for my full-time role, can I apply for one of these positions? - Is Nintendo missing from our vendor master list? - Finally, I noticed you were steamed at the Deal Architect blog. Do we have a IP anonymizer? I can post a nasty comment on the blog...with my web name ... McLovin -)
PS - a reader alerted me it was Mike, not Charlie Bess, who wrote the EDS post above. Fixed.
