Remember the mass firing of a certain company’s IT and magazine staff back in the day? Well it looks like that may have been a very costly mistake for them.
According to the UK’s Register a Nottingham based company seriously messed up when they prematurely sacked their IT admin and manager.
Here’s enough to get you started.
This week, reader “James” has shared a story “from my days as a Sysadmin, at the dawn of the broadband area, when I worked for a very well known company supplying fantasy wargaming products.”
Said company decided it needed an office in Europe, supplied by a warehouse in Nottingham…
Let’s just say from there things well down hill very rapidly for “James” and in the end that company in Nottingham inadvertently paid a hefty price for their actions to the tune of £100,000.
Checkout the full article for yourself over on The Register. I hope int he future, said company learns from their mistakes, because in this day and age one can’t be making mistakes like that.
I wonder what company they’re talking about???
