What do you do?


November 9, 2008 | 2 Comments   

What do you do when a “smart” engineer come to you and tell you this? In order to promote cost savings, we need to use 4 leased lines for network connectivity instead of 8 leased lines. 2 PCs will share 1 leased line. Ooh he wanted to plug 2 PCs into 1 LAN port.

First of all, it is not leased line but LAN line. Second of all, he doesn’t know that a network switch can connect all PCs together. Thirdly one lease line cost more than RM20K per year.

He has no clue what he was talking about and yet he comes to bother me with his bright ideas of cost savings. I was too busy with 101 things and didn’t bother to explain to him. I forwarded him to his network team. By the way, he is not even from my company but my supplier.

I wonder did it occur to him to understand the network concept or jargons before making any cost saving suggestions. It will really look silly on him.

Another thing that is annoying to me is when someone call you on the phone, he/she said “Who is this?” or “Where is this?”

Life is full of strange people.
