i had a very lively conversation with the in-house admin regarding the deployment of some critical systems in the network. This deployment is something I've been planning and gunning for since time eternal (around 3 years). The current item in question is very old, looks like its a thread away from completely disintegrating, and is undeniably flaky, yes, like a girl. :P
The in-house admin has already completed everything. The new item is constructed, tested and is ready to go, deployment plans are completed. Scheduled to the T. The local foreigner higher-up has also OK'd the entire thing. Lo and behold, the foreigner higher-up at the other location is asking for some weird explanation on how it fits into the IT policy. WTF has this to do with policy? This is preventive maintenance you tool! This is standard procedure across the IT industry!
This is a nightmare. The higher-ups, who I am sad to say half the time do not know what they are doing, are turning into hybrid-Americans, fixated on policies and committees and meetings. Had they been as competent as the real norteamericanos, this could be a little more palatable. Sinverguenza.
I told the netad to keep all the correspondence between him and the person in question. Hey, we did what we can, planned, constructed and scheduled. That tool stopped the deployment. We can protect this company from damages resulting from equipment failure. That's what were doing here now. What we can't do is protect it from managers who can't tell where common sense should start and fanatical devotion to policies end.
