I waited 3 months for my RSA token (which I need for working remotely). My boss waited 4 months for a dev server he desperately needs for a customer project.

Pardon my language: holy shit.

How large is your organization??? All I do at work is build dev environments, manage credential storage, and every now and then get roped into server upgrades kicking and screaming...four months for a freaking dev environment???

FOUR? How does this happen?

At Wells Fargo, I'd kill for a dev environment in general. We only do production-classified-as-dev. And 4 months? Slow down! We're six months...if you're lucky.

How's that joke go? Everybody has a testing environment, some people are lucky enough to have a separate environment to run production in?

At Wells Fargo don't you kill if there is a sales incentive program to kill?
