Re: Growing your own programmers

What you say Nina seems normal and makes sense to me.  

What does burn me are the people that will not do anything on their own
time when they are in the learning curve.  Too many times I've seen the
person refuse night classes unless paid, refuse to read magazines unless
paid, refuse user group meetings unless paid.  But when it comes time for
reviews and pay adjustments they are right there explaining about what
others with equal years of experience are being paid.  If you mention how
the others have worked their butts off to learn, you get this vacant look. 
Sometimes I will point out that seven years of experience is a lot
different than one year of experince seven times.
