Software dev here. I once quoted a single line change to my manager. And the client was billed for 3 weeks. I understand that there's a support structure involved. But 1 line to 3 weeks??!? Tech consultancy is a sham.

Every time we notified anyone about a potential illegal breach of gdpr that could get us fined or sued, admin pretended they had never been informed because the changes would take too long and collide with their plans to "revamp everything, reinvent the platform, and rebrand".
I should have whistleblown them myself if it were not for the fact that doing so would probably get some previous employees fired rather than hurt the company.
I know this thread is old but: so many HIPPA violations, oh my God. I am a pediatric therapists/child psych, and the clinic I used to work at constantly stored client data in the most insecure ways, and therapists and staff would discuss client names, diagnosis', address, EVERYTHING openly in the break room. I complained at one point, but it went nowhere. Turns out nobody cares, lol. They also frequently ignored the best interests of our clients to maximize profit from insurance (leaning towards fraud). I ultimately left the company when my boss blatantly violated the safety of one of my clients by refusing to send her home when she had a fever of 104 F. Sure, working with kids means everyone gets sick a lot, but when the child is THAT sick, they need to be in a hospital, not in a hot, cramped room with a therapist.
We didn't investigate an online theft from any bank account unless it was over US $100k.
Mike from Tom's Landscaping smokes a bowl of reefer in his car at lunch break every day.
Sorry Mike someone had to say something.
Yes, in the mid 1990s, large banks in the USA were being electronically compromised so often that they wouldn’t investigate or pursue a loss if it was under $50k.
I work in pest control and 99% of the shit we use. You can buy without having a license. The license just covers us to use the products on other people's houses responsibly. If you really want to do pest control, you only need a few chemicals and they are all easily obtainable on Amazon.
Nice try fbi
