Not that I blame them. So many deadbeats in their IT dept, just collecting a check. Right now we're pulling information for quotes. All we keep hearing is:

'nobody is going to lose their job'
'what you do may change'
'this is going to free you up to do important work'

I sat long and hard and thought about it and came up with a few thoughts, nobody was going to lose their job why would they outsource. Whats the point. They're just gonna keep paying people for redundancy. I would they justify salary of 3 senior network engineers when they outsourced the network management. Does this mean they'll offer people lower paying jobs within the company.

Even if I was one of the 'lucky' ones what type of advancement opportunities would there actually be. If the department lost 90% of its people then management within the department just got 1000x more competitive.

Just sucks because nobody is worried. Its like they're all in denial and they want to believe. Sometimes i wish I was an idiot. Thanks for letting me rant GLP brethren.
