favorite line: ?The mainframe can?t be important because it never comes up at meetings.? Sometimes mainframers make success look so easy that it?s taken for granted.
There was a manager who wanted to eliminate a small support group because "That function is totally automated." 8, soon to be 9 plexes; well over 100 started tasks; no abends; no changes for changes in opsys. Totally invisible on any report that management gets because noone thinks to count the work it does. It just ships data from hither to yon. One techie analyst who recovers things when an admin makes a mistake on a green screen defining routing information. When you do well, you can be invisible. To be appreciated, there has to be visibility.
