Will the last approver please turn out the lights

A quiet day. Posted for a couple internal jobs, handled a few access process questions. My Indian contact acknowledged the server conversion could not be done in two weeks (big surprise, that). Pretty slow.

I also approved a few access requests. Starting last Friday, I, a soon-to-be terminated employee, am the primary access approver for two of our most important data warehouse suites of data. Does this make sense? But the only other two Bank associates left are swamped; so, it’s either me or the Indian contractors.

And when I go, the intent is to let the India people be the access approvers. So access approval would be handled offshore in these cases. I would be hesitant about letting any contractor handle access approval authority, but even more so offshore contractors. But then, if our team is responsible for certain access approvals, and almost everyone has been outsourced, I guess this is the natural end result.

Meanwhile, my time left must be getting shorter: my headache's back for the first time in several weeks.
