Bloated IT budgets?
Where do you work, and are they hiring?
The bloat isn't for workers, otherwise there'd be enough people to go reboot the machines and fix the issue manually in a reasonable amount of time. It's only for executives, managers, and contracts with kickbacks. In fact usually they buy software because it promises to cut the need for people and becomes an excuse for laying off or eliminating new hire positions.
As the post was stating, they get bloated by relying on vendors rather than in-house IT/Security.
My grandfather works IT for my state government tho and it's a pretty good gig according to him
