Oyster product pickup improvements

Clank remarked: until senior managers take an attitude of "there but for the grace of god go I" regarding over-exuberant Usenet postings, there is a risk. And despite Usenet being more widespread since the eternal september, I don't think many senior managers have reached that yet. Speaking as a senior manager, I'm pretty sure there are postings I made on Usenet in the 1980s I'd probably regret now, and being well aware of the perils of social media would absolutely not be holding someone's youthful indiscretions against them provided they're not of a nature that brings into doubt their trustworthiness. I suspect I am not unique and senior managers - in tech firms in particular - are rather more forward thinking than you imagine. A lot of senior managers I know still get someone to print out their emails so they can read them. Beware viewing the world from inside a tech-bubble. -- Roland Perry |

I'd be very surprised, if there are more then a handful of managers who are incapable of finding the "print" button" for themselves. So the very nature of the fact that they have someone who can be tasked with printing them out for them, suggests that they are being printed out for a different reason than "the manager is incapable of accessing them on a computer for him/herself" tim |
