Consecuencias Del Decreto Sobre Las Colectivizaciones:

Bob Rozin wasn’t a typical system administrator. He surely had the technical aptitude, but he carried himself in a manner that others may have considered condescending. After all, he had his master’s degree from a school that had a pretty good basketball program, and he was an amateur food critic. Bob was working on multiple projects and would frequently need to fly between Cleve- land and Washington D.C. When senior management approached him about

wanting to implement a BlackBerry solution for the executives, he really didn’t want anything to do with the project. Even though his plate was already full, he didn’t have a choice but to put something in place.

One of the first problems Bob ran into was that senior management didn’t want to increase his budget to support the new BlackBerry initiative. Telecom was going to pay for the BlackBerrys out of their cell phone budget and they just wanted Bob to enable those BlackBerrys to be able to check their email and scheduling while mobile. They felt this should be quick and easy. Bob also wanted it to be just quick and easy.

The new BlackBerrys came in and as a thank-you for helping set up the ser- vice, Bob was told that he would be getting a new BlackBerry, too. Bob’s wife, Ella, wasn’t too keen on that idea, as she imagined Bob at the dinner table checking his email instead of helping with the kids, Lynn and Danny.

The new BlackBerrys arrived. The execs were extremely eager to start using them and Bob received the mandate to get them up and running immediately. Bob didn’t have the budget to buy any new equipment, so he decided to use an old server that was no longer in service. It wasn’t ideal, but they didn’t have a ton of people using the BlackBerrys and he felt that the server could support the load. He decided to stay late one Friday to set up the new server. His wife would be mad, but at least he wouldn’t have to come in on Saturday to do it and miss the Ohio State game.

Fortunately for Bob, the old server already had Windows Server and SQL Server software installed. Half the job was already done. Bob installed the BlackBerry Enterprise Server as he ate grocery-store sushi. Finally the software was installed. Bob was pretty intuitive when it came to setting up new soft- ware, so he was able to get the BlackBerry Enterprise Server running pretty quickly. With his new BlackBerry in hand, he was able to configure his device to talk to the new server, and before long he was able to receive his email on his BlackBerry. On Monday the execs would be very happy. He got done consid- erably earlier than he had anticipated and rather than go straight home, he decided to reward himself by going to the schvitz for a cigar and a steam bath and to then jump into the cold pool.

Monday afternoon, while enjoying a pork chop at lunch, Bob began receiv- ing complimentary emails on his BlackBerry, telling him what a great job he had done setting up the new service. He was told how smart he was and how the company valued him being able to get new technology up and running so fast. He didn’t even need training; he just got this high-profile technology done in no time — perfect! The execs were able to stay connected to their email and scheduling while on the road and they were very happy to be able to do so. For Bob this was a piece of cake, though he enjoyed the praise. He couldn’t help but imagine himself getting promoted to regional manager.

Time went by and more and more projects filled Bob’s plate. He continued traveling to Cleveland and D.C., although he never did get that promotion. That notwithstanding, he loved his coworkers and overall, life was good.

It was 2:00 pm on a Wednesday and Bob was just returning from his usual long lunch — a Cuban pork dish and plantain nachos this time. As he entered the office, he could tell that something was wrong. The VP of Technology was on a rampage and it appeared as though nobody was safe. There had been a security breach and thousands of customer accounts with sensitive informa- tion had been compromised. This was a very big deal and would have devas- tating effects on the company. In typical fashion, Bob made a smart-alec remark about how stupid someone would have to be to let this happen and stated that whatever loser was responsible for this should be hung.
