I think for the last 2 years before I was involuntarily let go, I could have been a 1 man z/OS shop. Of course, once we decided to get off the mainframe, we didn't do anything. I would have had to learn a little about CICS and networking, which I haven't done much with, but I'm sure I could have done it. A lot of smaller companies stay out of date with their operating system level and maintenance, and could easily be run by 1 person. I wouldn't want to try to keep everything up to date with one person though.
