That sounds like 'No'. You are not amenable to consultants. ... or
employees either

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 important challenge facing your shop, possibly you
personally. What is 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!!
