Busy day today (although I'm still finding time to write this!) we got a second meeting for the concerned from the tech department with members of the board. we had a meeting a couple of weeks ago as because there was so much stuff to talk about and this is the second meeting for the over run. Basically we are complaining about Career development and the rest of the company treating us like &$%^&£! see below for a few of the points we put to them.
Things in the department has actually been a bit more stable, we actually have 4 people in the flash team at the minute! We just want to try and fix things up a bit so it will be worth stay with the company in the medium term.
...And Rammstein well that's my first music gig tonight of this year. Da Boyz and down for a visit and we will be off up to Wembley for a bit of German Heavy Metal and an ear clean.
Rest of the weekend will probably involved PS3,Xbox and beer
Career path
There is none
Line Management
Too busy to manage
Respect
Treated like a third party supplier company
Innovation
Should not just be down to one person who does share with the tech department
Recognition
No reward for effort
Ignorance
Digital understanding in the business, it ‘cool not to understand’
Integration
How does the business see tech in the company?
Training
None!!!
Process
No point doing project reviews ; tech not included in part of the planning
Knowledge
Individual team member knowledge is ignored or dismissed
Quality
We always end up with the ‘best of a bad job’
Fault
Budget and Deadline for most projects already gone by the time it gets to Tech but its still our fault
Creative Technical
Tech only gets involved after the fact. There are no opportunities to innovate
Budget
We are always told the budget is blown but nobody will back it up with figures
Tempora
Estimates can be made more efficient if we got feed back of what time we did take on tasks
R&D
Any? By force the business was not happy to give up the time for it
Leading the Field
No; The company isn’t the company it was; we follow the trends or miss them completely rather than make them
The Companies’ Aim
To be the Agency of the Year; no matter what; nothing else is important
Quality
One person is not a QA department unless you are cowboys
Retainment
Pay rise only if you leave (but offered too late); Lack of support; no profit in going the extra mile
Architecture
Old broken software; Old development technology; no plan for maintenance and upgrade
Internal Process
Have a Company way of doing things rather that muddle through differently each time
Ideas
An idea is only a good idea if it is made to happen the good ideas don’t happen unless somebody realizes it
Outsourcing
Managing third party tech work isn’t tech work
Developing
Bug fixing and low quality scrap work isn’t enjoyable work
