bzarcherWell, that was a fun 2 hour meeting!
It really wasn't too bad. The joys of having a department that gets along pretty well.
One thing that came out of it, though, I'm kinda iffy about. It's just a proposal, at this point, but still...
With the upcoming rework of our PC vendor contract, they're starting to get a lot of offers for on-site support. Between that and some local companies offering on-site support and doing hardware support, they're seriously considering phasing out our internal hardware support and giving it to vendors.
I can see goods and bads in this. One particularly is that it could really reduce the chances that I'd have a chance at a longer term position here. I may not have to worry about that anyhow, but it comes to mind. Plus, I really can't decide if this is the right way to go. Fellow techies reading this, can you guys give any input if your workplaces or nearby shops have done something similar, and how it worked out?
