Funny email from our CIO

[BrokenVisage]

I actually work for a company with 10,000,000 employees...

Unless federal government, [citation needed]

 

[TehMac]

Too bad most non-geeky 'typical' people of the organization won't get his humor.

you underestimate the humor of ppl not on Anandtech.

 

[amddude]

How does he get away with saying this?

Because our chairman of the board is worse. He's dropped f-bombs and used the word 'bitch' and 'bitchy' in front of dozens of people.

Unless federal government, [citation needed]

I think the federal government has 7 million employees too...

 

[Jadow]

CIO will be out of job within 1 year

We just replace or PC's on a 4 year cycle so 25% of the PC's are being replaced every year. So that way Budget's can be accurately forcasted and PC's are being continually refershed. Also we don't have to fight for PC budget every year.

 

[Train]

Too long to be funny.

And I would never send something like that to a 500 person company. Makes him look like a total nerd/douche

 

[DrPizza]

Depends on the atmosphere at that company. Some places are apparently more up tight than other places. Other places are a lot more fun to work at.

While we all think it, this part is very inappropriate imo.

Also, as the process of PC deployment is a time consuming and resource intensive undertaking, the velocity of new equipment deployment is inversely proportional to the number of Help Desk calls that you pathetic, intellectually-challenged, needy, whiney, cry babies (and you know who you are) make to the IT group. So wise-up people, the more you interrupt us with your inane, idiotic, and mindless requests, the longer it will take for you to get your sleek, new, shiny, fast, multi-core, enough-to-make-your-co-workers-jealous, compute engine. So, before you pick up the phone, consult the attached Help Desk Self-Help flowchart.

Defeated the CEO in an arm wrestle.

 

[PricklyPete]

Yeah...while somewhat humorous...he doesn't sound like he has the maturity to be the CIO of anything.

 

[bfdd]

Well written and funny, but unless it is a small firm where he knows everyone reasonably well, it seems a little unprofessional.

the company i work for before we got purchased was like around 250 people and we'd get emails like that too, we still do for our local office now.

What company is this? I wanna work for his department

 

[wheresmybacon]

That sounds like some of the shit I used to write when I was drinking. Does he have a flask in his desk?

 

[Kelvrick]

Haha. Reminds me of the entourage episode I saw last night.

You suggested she had her wise and beautiful woman removed to reduce her cuntiness
