Everything is all squared away…
Everything is all squared away... disaster adverted. You know, I think it's moments like this that are taken for granted by executive management. Anyhoo, after all the traffic rerouting was completed, I went to a meeting called by my boss to discuss a topology change to a collapsed core environment. Just because something looks simpler on paper because there are less little lines and boxes in the drawing DOES NOT mean that it is simpler or better in the real world. It was like talking to a child that is determined to get his way at any cost. Damned be all reason and logic... ego and ignorance are the words of the day. Fuck all everything else. It's this mentality that endangers our business function. It is this very naivety that will be the downfall of the resilient network that so many experts have worked hard to cultivate and nurture over time to deliver. It saddens me. I will now and continue to go on the record as adamantly disagreeing with the poor network design choices being tabled at the discussions. It may cost me my job in the long run, but I won't compromise my principles and doing what is right.
right on!!! in the end being true to ourselves is the only thing we’re left with :)
I’m happy to see that you’re standing up for what you know is right. I tend to be frustrated most of the time because our VP couldn’t turn her PC on, let alone make decisions about our network. But I stick to my guns because I know what needs to be done. You’re the man for showing them what integrity is. Someday, when I grow up, I wanna be just like Clayton.
