Generation Y needs to grow up

So the poor darlings expect this, that and the other (Next generation of employees doesn’t respect IT rules)? 

Well, tell you what, get them to go to their boss and request that he see his boss to approve it at board level. Then it will be properly costed, fit in around the legal requirements the company has and everyone will be happy.

Yeah, right. More likely the board says the company is in the worst economic downturn for several decades and needs its cash to survive, and tells young Johnny to sling his hook and see what several months of the dole does for his social needs. The firm then gets someone else from the millions who would be extremely grateful for a job?

These people need to get real. It isn’t IT stopping you do this, it’s the business. Hassle the business about it to change.  If the leaders say do it, it will happen. The reality is, though, that there are strong reasons for locking things down, preventing data loss and corruption and protecting a company’s reputation.
