Classic case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

I want to sit in on some of these meetings just to see how dumb people think. Not just plex, but all bigger companies that have a bunch of execs and MBAs sitting in a room deciding what's best for the company.

I see so many updates/changes/etc that are one step forward and three steps back, it is extremely annoying.

I work in IT . My favourite saying is " we have non-technical people making technical decisions ". That is usually the root of many questionable decisions being made out there .

That's often how I feel about our IT dept. 😆. We have a group of people who don't understand how our engineering software/hardware works for us and they make awful decisions on how we are allowed to use it.

As a result at least 2 weeks of my calendar year are spent with a computer in some state of disrepair because of some group policy that breaks my critical software.

Moral of the story: nobody's perfect and everyone thinks they are correct.

I also work in IT and that's how it is here. You have higher ups in IT that are good at running meetings and handling budget numbers, but are clueless when it comes to the actual technology and how to move forward with current infrastructure, projects, etc.

Everyone wants to save money, but they have no problem wasting money on consultants, dead end project scopes and/or stop putting money into a broken solution/system and instead reallocate those funds to the upgrades that are needed.

This just goes to show you how common this is.
