Ever work in a company where the upper non-technical management made all the decisions, and the IT team had no team say in making the decisions. Why does that happen? A man saw a hot air balloon and starts to float. He enjoys the ride. After a while he looks down and realizes that he does not know how to get down to the ground and also that he is not in a safe place either. He hurriedly looks for civilization and finds a woman strolling. He yells to get her attention and he gets it. He asks her if she can get him down to the ground?
