Phil Factor is a legend in his own runtime. Scurrilous, absurd, confessional and scathing by turns, Confessions of an IT Manager targets the idiocy, incompetence and overreach of the IT management industry from vantage point all the way up and down the greasy pole. Phil Factor (real name witheld to protest the guilty) has over 20 years experience in the IT industry, specializing in database-intensive applications. For withering insight into the human weaknesses and farcical levels of ineptitude that bring IT projects to their knees, plus occasional escapes into burnished pastiche and cock-a-leg doggerel there is no funnier, more illuminating commentary on the IT crowd.

This book is just funny, great and a real eye-opener to what has and is going on in the IT world.
The author really has a way with words and a life-time of stories to bring you into the deep, dark and mostly ungoverned world of IT.
A must for any IT Manager.

Well what an eye opener! now I know what my IT guys get up to all day while I stare helplessly at a blank screen having tried plugging it in, restarting it, and kicking it. Very enjoyable read and a great insight for any corporate PC user. Phil is a talented writer, blogger, and story teller and I look forward to his next instalment

Format:Paperback
This is an hilarious book with some laugh-aloud moments. But, more importantly, it outlines many of the absurdities in IT management. Anyone in charge of an IT department MUST read this book and, hopefully, avoid the pitfalls and pratfalls it amusingly describes.

This is not a joke
In no case should this book be considered a collection of amusing stories. While it is certainly funny there is a lot of knowledge and experience under the cover of wit. Read more

Fantastic read!
Be warned, if you act as I did and read this book at work or on the train, you will be the subject of many strange looks, as it is impossible to not laugh out loud. Read more
