Management|customers pay the wages. They don't need to know the specifics. Nor, in all honesty, should they. As long as they have a cosy little flow chart to keep them amused and happy, and a running and working system, that is all they need to know.
And no, it doesn't surprise me. I keep all my customers updated from afar. They never know I have upgraded their systems unless I impart that knowledge to them. I charge to do a job. The specifics of that job are then no longer the customers concern. That is the purpose of contracting|employing someone to do the job. They do not want the hassle themselves.
So yes, I do know the problems of a professional environment. And, although it goes down like a lead brick on occasion, I have a simple response and attitude. My way or find someone else. We are paid to do a job, and I am including myself in this statement. Pussyfooting is not a service I offer, however.
Absolutely brilliant. Do you mind if I quote this?
