Hello All, Statement #1 below is -SO- true . From -very- recent experience . Sorry about the 'me-2' . JimL On Mon, 23 Aug 1999, Stephen Sprunk wrote:
Actually, the tendency I've seen in most non-ISP companies is that the companies shell out an increasing amount of money for progressively less clue, dump more and more work on a shrinking staff, and continue to ignore everything they say. Maybe ISPs/Telcos are different.
I don't believe clue is getting sparse; I think that the clueful refuse to work for non-clued management, and they're getting better at spotting it and realizing that obscene salaries really aren't worth putting up with all the BS.
As Randy said, clue attracts clue.
