okay
okay okay okay i'm uh
well i do work for a large company uh large meaning about twelve twelve thousand people
that's big
and uh it use to be twice as big
could've been uh could've been better i'll put it this way when i came to work here it was twenty five thousand and now it's twelve thousand and dropping
uh-huh
but uh the advantages of a how how big is the company you work for
uh less then a hundred people
okay less then a hundred
some of the same thing still applies i've work for company's uh your size before
and some of the same thing still applies though uh one of the things is
like i know a guy that gone to work for his self
and
and uh after a while he became
isolated
uh-huh
yeah he was he craved uh yeah
interaction yeah
and uh that's one of the nice thing a about a company uh interaction with other people access to internet uh
do you have internet how did you get hook up to this
uh well i have an internet uh through another i have another internet connection through another network but we're in the process of
establishing our own internet feed internet feed
um
so thing like that the internet uh access internet access to a library
yeah
um
gee how do i say it uh
well i think the diversity of a large company is a strong thing for it um the the fact that there are so many different ways that uh working for a company could take you a a large company um
granted if your skill your skill were like nuclear physics so you pretty much narrow to to uh
your choices are narrowed but
i can see someone with on doing what i do going into many different sort of venue i guess you'd call them in a larger company
um
i'm a system engineer and i basically
design networks um
uh-huh
so for our end user and our customer i'm you know uh
i'm pretty much limited to that that's what that's what i do
the
one of the advantage of uh of a uh larger company and the hundred is uh could be consider a larger company is
is access to other people that do the same thing
um-hum
if you're the only computer programmer in your company then it's it's it is kind of isolated
and uh
so that one of the advantages of there's a lot of disadvantage of course but uh
yeah i think one of the disadvantages is the bureaucracy that props up as a you know necessity for almost anything getting anything done at all you have to
uh
many layers to go through
yes and one other thing that that uh tends to happen
in in a larger company is uh
oh how do i say it uh lack of access to uh
to people they they tend to departmentalize and and uh move away where as in a company your size
uh let see a hundred or so it i in the pass had access to people who had access to just anything anything anything and everything was uh was available
uh-huh
where as in a company like this it's very fragmented
and i'm i might be
um-hum and you have the typical pyramid structure of organization many work group one man on top or woman um and middle management and the whole nine yards right
yeah and so well i can be ten feet away from somebody that is doing the same thing
uh-huh
we are structure in the uh
in uh in uh bubble
uh structure
we are many different work group however we work together
um that's by design we've had the same structure for basically for twenty years
and uh it allows us to do many interesting thing we have many facet to our organization
uh and we are able to mix and match and bring different facet into play as they're need so we we basically cover the whole spectrum of computing uh for our for our customers and uh
i i have one fear here i i don't know if i push the one button long enough
i think you did
do you think you can hear that huh okay because i
yeah
i haven't they haven't said that we're out of space yet maybe they deleted their temp directory
well in the past they've it they seem to shut us off fairly quickly so i i was wondering about that let me try it once more here
yeah
well um you know we can talk as long as we like or until they tell us i've usually hit the marker to
um we are not suppose to be talking about this anyway uh
so we're we're in a we're in a bubble diagram and uh
okay
that's that's a really effective and i think that is a very nineties kind of thing like i say we've had it for twenty something years and so we are really good at it but uh
