QR for Careers???

What the??!!

First, I hear an advertisement on the radio stating that Queensland Rail, now known as QR, has a Careers webpage. Then, upon looking at the webpage, I see that some cock-biter has suggested that QR offers "…rewarding career opportunities in areas like: Information Technology…"

Who the fuck do they think they are kidding???

If there is anything to be said, it is that Queensland Rail DOES NOT offer anything resembling a rewarding career in Information Technology!! - not unless you happen to be an unskilled dickhead with a leaning towards being a political player who doesn't care who they step on; use; abuse; deceive; and will suck copious quantities of dick if it means that they can make someone else look bad while making themselves look good.

Queensland Rail will happily allow it's "rewarding career" prospects wallow in go-nowhere jobs where there is NO chance of advancement unless someone dies, or leaves the organisation for a company where their skills are acknowledged and appreciated.

All you IT Graduates: BE WARNED!! Don't listen to the spin! Don't believe the SHIT!

They will tell you that QR is a respected leader in the IT field. BULLSHIT!!

Queensland Rail is known far and wide in the IT industry as being stocked predominantly with people who *think* they know what they're doing when in reality they wouldn't know shit from clay. The people who are truly skilled and do give a rat's arse about the quality of their work, just do their jobs without the need to run to a manager's office to say how good they are.

So too should ALL Queensland Rail employees be concerned should they have access to email. Even though an agreement may be in place yet NOT be legally binding: non-security-cleared factions will happily take it upon themselves to NOT work with the formal Security section in preventing SPAM and assorted unwanted, unsolicited, non-work-related emails into the organisation, yet will NOT provide the software that they use themselves to entrap employees to locate it. Management will also happily use illegal entrapment techniques and policies to reduce employee numbers while claiming that there is a No Forced Redundancy policy.

Is this software made avaliable to employees to assist them in cleaning up their machines so that anything that is offensive in nature can be removed? NO!

Is information sent around saying that an employee can be sacked if a file exists in a temporary directory because Windows does NOT clean up after itself? NO!

Note: this is not directed to the 2 or 3 managers in IT in the organisation that actually give a rat's arse about their staff. Their jobs are hard enough without being lumped in with the rest of the morons that are running the joint.
