There are many ways to gauge satisfaction with a new computer system, but when the people who have to use it show up for work wearing red and declare it "Code Red" day, you probably don't need to bother with a survey.
That's exactly what's scheduled to happen this Thursday in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, where government workers plan to protest the one-year anniversary of a controversial new computer system.
Ontario's Social Assistance Management System (SAMS), installed a year ago this week by the province's Ministry of Community and Social Services, was supposed be a more efficient replacement for its outdated case management system.
It hasn't quite turned out that way.
Several tales of woe, but no deeper dive on causes, like scope creep.

Omg you too? After .com fail, I wanted to distance myself from the evil of Wallstreet. So I took up a job with the most trusted institution I know, a big Bank (one of the biggest). After all if people trust it with money, it can't be evil. Even before 2008 I hated myself and everything about the whole Private banking industry, I had to leave.
I finally feel like my hands are clean :)

I got out of medical research for the same reason... I think I'd prefer a bank to that (lesser evil). So what job did you find that doesnt involve scamming people?
