Leaked Sony IT Evaluations: "There Is No Overall Strategy"

http://gizmodo.com/sony-it-employee-leaks-there-is-no-overall-strategy-1673347885



We already knew that, mere months before hackers attacked Sony, the company's execs were aware of extensive issues plaguing its IT department. Now, leaked 2012 evaluations from Sony IT employees shed light on a department full of internal strife, lacking the necessary tools to do its job.

The evaluations consist almost entirely of like-minded complaints regarding IT management's overall apathy, total lack of communication, and general disregard for keeping equipment in a state that even approximates being "up-to-date." While some of it sounds like standard workplace griping, there are also some serious IT security issues laid bare.

Note: The notes from the IT folks seem like the gripes that every IT dept in world have. Essentially management folks think IT people are only the people who fix their PC's and nothing more.
