Ah, from back when people still had critical thinking faculties in good working order.
Back when tech is still dominated by hippies and not fascists.
I have bad news about IBM’s past as regards fascists.
Reminds me of Woz’s old saying “Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.”
Managers aren’t being held accountable for their management decisions either.
“Oh, I sacked our entire workforce and sold all the company assets, so the figures will look amazing this month.”
<one month later>
“Oh, the figures are down this month, a golden handshake!? Thank you very much.”
Most industries management fails upward. Definitely true in Pharma.
There are CEOs with a 20 year string of development failures, but they bring “vast experience”.
And when computers make all management decisions, let us not forget that managers told them to do so, lest we forget whom to hold accountable.
You know shit only flows downhill right?
A computer can 100% be held accountable. Someone made the decision to put a computer in charge. That person is 100% responsible.
Unless that person leaves and the system they implemented remains
the VP accepted the risk
Ok, and you fired him, and the replacement… did they accept all the risk too?
If they accepted the job, absolutely yes. ignorantia juris non excusat.
