The worst core at Stanford - which is pretty bad considering all the cores are awful. Our lab pays thousands of dollars a year for access to software that is often 10+ years old or is incompatible with anything that is older than Windows 95.
There are 4 people who work here but I don't know what they do. One person's job I know is to maintain the online chats and repeated say "I don't know" or "We're working on that" or "Let me get back to you" or "Please wait for someone else to respond to you".
Examples:
- Lee Kozar does not actually work there. He is frequently "working from home" (we all know what that means aka not working). I know this because I have repeated requested software discs and they are locked up in his office. So eventually I gave up. My friend made an appointment with him and he had an emergency, but never followed up.
- They believe their job description is going to the gym. Maybe CMGM stands for Core Muscle Gym Management. In the middle of troubleshooting software, Alan Hebert told my friend that he had to go to the gym (in the middle of the afternoon). Of course, there was no follow up with his issue.
In summary, CMGM exists to discourage you from getting software working. They are amazing at delaying, not working, and not troubleshooting. They still exist, because we have no other alternatives and if they knew how to do their jobs they would be working at Google or Facebook. read more
