+1 I believe the only way you can judge somebody's competence is to have insight into their actual work. (tangent) I also believe you cannot predict a person's character during interview or any "good times." Only when things start going bad, people will show their true colors. The ones who lie or steal or or manipulate or sue... Only can be found during bad times, such as layoff, or general stress, etc. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
