Confessions of an IT pro: My nine biggest professional blunders
Confessions of an IT pro: My nine biggest professional blunders:
Over the past 16 years of being paid to make computers and
people work together in perfect harmony, I have collected a number of incidents
that make me wince and blush in embarrassment when I think of them. The
mistakes I’ve made fall roughly into three categories: technical, political,
and career management. Here, in no particular order, are my most outstanding
screw-ups and the lessons I have, I hope, learned.
I’ve got a few I ought to add — but not until after I have my next job. Some of them are rather amusing — given we survived them alive and employed.
Which was sometimes a close call….
