Ways of 'gradual suicide' by IT managers

Strong discounts to stimulate demand and fulfill business goals in the month may cause a downward trend in other companies, causing the quality of goods and services to gradually deteriorate, losing brand reputation. .

1. Reducing personnel

In a world with a shortage of IT human resources, cutting does not mean bringing more jobs to people who stay. They will leave to find another job at any time because of the feeling of development instability for the future.

2. Reduced selling price

In theory, reducing the selling price is to attract buyers, increasing the competitive advantage for the company. However, this caused other companies to rush in as well, creating a downward trend. But to sell goods at low prices, people often have to cut costs in many stages, making the quality of goods and services gradually decline.

Only giant companies that have a big influence on the market, setting a price reduction strategy in a certain period (such as a transition to a new generation product .) can succeed. The price reduction for short-term goals, according to "movement" will be very risky.

3. Abandon the third service provider

Some managers often give up third-party services and ask their employees to do the job to reduce costs. But often, their employees do not have the same expertise as those of the other company. If they were good, they went to the company that specialized in that field to get a higher salary.

4. Lack of upgrading the device

Many companies do not upgrade hardware in time to meet the needs of applications. They often leave the machine running to the point that they can no longer run, causing the employees to become frustrated and gradually leave the job.

5. Too save server space

Due to rising property rental costs, IT managers also want to narrow the server. But the cramped server space will not be able to meet the demand for bandwidth for employees. Slow network, shared applications difficult to access . will make them frustrated.
