I have a different perspective. Most of the problems described here devolve from one simple decision. That is: I will be an employee of a large corporation.
Please fellows, quit whining. You chose that turf. You know what it involves. You get paid regularly. There are alternatives. Never did that, and paid the price, BobLQ "I whine to, but it sounds different." On 5/16/07, Lan Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

OTOneH, I have been privy to veeps making business decisions showing me that there are many valid criteria beyond my own myopic techie insights. This is eye-opening. OTOtherH, I have seen that corporate/tech management cowards like to get the techies to take a lead: if it works, they take credit; if it fails, they disavow it. My take home: I will never ever EVER again recommend a tool set, suggest a design, or make any technical recommendation without getting witnessed and documented sign-on by a spectrum of others. Sometimes things don't work out, and that's OK, but I'm through being the sacrificial lamb.
