RE: Biggest issue facing YOUR IBM i shop?

Not off topic at all. When seasoned veterans are sent packing by people
working at half rate or less, it is a big issue for IBM i shops.

Paul, that's off topic. Let's keep it with the question.

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

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!!
