Omigawd!?! That's got to be the most depressing and disturbing thing I've read since returning back to work from my LOA. (And I have read a few depressing and disturbing things since my return.)


Now you know I'm no big fan of Java, but why oh why would any company *not* want their staff to keep current on the latest technologies? Java or otherwise, technologies that might actually *benefit* the company.
