Hey there Paul & Mike, I was wondering if you someone was going to bring up questions like you asked.
Being that I am writing from my work e-mail, I will have to be a little subtle with my response. So - Paul - yeah I agree with your point & I am have been checking out my options. As for it being sanctioned - its not really. And - Mike - to answer your question as well - you see, its kinda complicated. I heard that the guy was actually part owner of this co. some years ago. But, I suspect since he was such a mess - he gave up his part. Probably gambled it away! And, the thing is - he was one of the original developers of the system. And, the big problem my boss faces - and why he can't outright let the guy go - is that he is the MAIN Guy here doing the EDI parts of the system. The other 2 programmers here doing VFP - besides myself - do some of the EDI stuff. And, I tackle client problems involving EDI as much as possible. And, we also (the other 2 & myself) work on EDI setups for clients when they sign up with new Trading partners. But - since the old guy is still the MAIN EDI support guy - and the others here haven't bothered to really try to be better at handling the problems - my boss is too afraid to let this guy go. And, funny thing is - looks like he has gone missing again (although I haven't heard any official word about him showing up late) - since he is normally supposed to be here at 9:30am - and its now 10:05am. So - that's how the ball bounces around here! :-) -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul McNett Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 4:03 PM Kurt Wendt wrote: > You see - there is the older guy programming here - > and he's a bit of a mess (gambling addiction & goes > missing from work several days at a time without calling in).

This should be a leading indicator that you may want to look for a different job, if people are openly getting away with this (assuming it isn't openly sanctioned, that is!) ;) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a14071a1...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
