Re: Working Hard or Hardly Working? From WSJ

I have the toughest time trying to get work done in the UK. THey are very anal on delivery times, personel needed, refuse to work past 5, or before 8. Most of the work we do is done during a maintainence window. This is so the end user, the customer don't notice a change or problem.

With all the layers of management I deal with, I usually end up having one of our locals or myself do installs, when they forget to close a path to the servers. They have gone so far as shut the routers off at night as security. Great idea, but that is how I fix things, so it keeps them off the air longer.

Added to it is the VAT that we are taxed on products being delivered. 17%
