If you feel in control you just aren't going fast enough. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Wednesday, April 5, 2017 1:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL: z/OS revives again The company today told us that our outsourcing contract has been terminated. The main reason given is the drastic change in the business environment and needs. Basically, a lot of companies who jumped into the health market have abandoned it due to their failure to make money under the ACA. So, it looks like my job is secure for at least another 18 months. We will be repatriating work back from the outsource to both our internal distributed environment and z/OS. It is just a "reprieve" not a "pardon". But 1.5 years will get me to full retirement age (assuming some damn pickup doesn't kill me on the road). -- "Irrigation of the land with seawater desalinated by fusion power is ancient.
