Too bad there isn't any accountability on the spending, just like all the tax credits to entice the telecom's to build out broadband, but they didn't spend that money.

The telco's will claim to have spent that money, but they won't do anything, and once the cap is reached the telco's and shut it down again until the government gives them more incentives which they can use to line their pockets.

What a racket.

I interviewed at Elsevier for their Director of Information Security. The current Director was going back to Comcast, the entire team was from Comcast.

They were pompous, egotistical, and utterly clueless. They asked the all time dumbest questions I've ever been asked in an interview.

The first interview of the day was with the outgoing Director and his two lieutenants. They spent most of the hour explaining how important it is to make the business happy. When I tried to ask questions about their control framework they changed the subject. They deflected every question I asked. I thought about just leaving after the first interview but I stuck it out for the next 3 1 hour interviews.

It took them 6 months to follow up and tell me that they position was filled by an internal candidate
