I've recently been "canned" in a merger due to reasons pertaining to not getting up to speed with DotNet quick enough (company will no longer be using Cold Fusion, which I am at "Advanced level" of development), and stated they can find expert level DotNet developers overseas (where majority of programming has gone the past two years) far cheaper than the American programmer. Kinda un-patriotic, but for a lot of captialistic companies it seems to be the way things are going. Anyway ... I start a new IT related job next week at a 7% increase in pay. What I am curious about is have your lost your job recently to:
1) cheap foreigner labor? 2) company alienating Cold Fusion because they've gotten "the bug" w/regard to all the buzzwords circling around w/regard to DotNet (not knocking DotNet ... is pretty cool - in one year with small number of projects I've become quite good, but not expert level). Lastly - even though I have a new job, which will be with small non-political company versus large political company, I'm a little depressed. I think my depression stems from the fact that I worked my ass off for the company that canned me (60-80 weeks at times ... many "all-nighters"), have varying skill-sets w/regard to server management, programming, outsourcing management, hardware/software t-shooting. This ever happen to you? All the best - Chuck ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware: a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
