This is exactly what i was trying to convey . At the end , they
never save
anything . Whatever money they think they had saved by replacing
experienced staffs with freshers goes out again in the form of
penalty ,
missed SLA , change failures .
Skill shortage is just one side of the story . When the work
environment is
controlled by such managers who only focus on saving cost , life
becomes
too difficult for beginners who want to learn and enhance their
skills .
They eventually lose their interest in the technology .
I remember a recent quote from Forbes.com - "People don't leave the
companies , they leave their managers"

I had one of those at a company I worked for. He was officially a gas
meter maid that got promoted way over his position in life.
He would come to work everyday and sharpen pencils and stare at his
wall. He had no DP experience and wouldn't know how to logon to
anything.
I sympathize for you but he can be gotten around. Now if his superior
is like him to you do have a problem.
I found it better to start looking.
