Re: Biggest issue facing YOUR IBM i shop?

Just to qualify. The company wants junior people who will work for $20 to
$40 per hour. Do what they are told. And work, work, work.

Funny, my biggest problem is trying to find a job but with a

qualification.

Where I can do development, not just maintain code from the 1980's.

I am curious what is YOUR view, the view from your seat of the most

that largest 'going forward' challenge in the next year? 2 Years?

Big

or small but most important, look forward, what IS that light at the

end

of the tunnel attached to??

Let me ask though, PLEASE:
1) No grousing about the 'imminent takeover of my shop by

windows.'

As my mom would have said: "Quit your bitchin!"
2) No grousing about specific people or attitudes (i.e. 'My

Manager

doesn't like....')

If either of these happen to be the big issue then phrase it as

a

legitimate issue, whining and bitching won't be accepted!!
