@ vintagecaveman don't know about super "heroes", but there are plenty of good supervillians in this 'verse... (okay, maybe not *good*...) |
actually felt bad for my manager. tried to make it easy on him. he said I handled it a lot better than the guy (my applications) replaced... |
...well, not any longer. :-) (IT is IT no matter what the industry, but if your company *feeds* automotive, you still get screwed...) |
I know now that working in the automotive industry is not the "safe haven" that it once was... fortunately, I'm IT, and NOT in automotive... |
@ lifes_a_witch I was *walked* out... not exactly the same thing, but... |
huh... not that simple, trying to rant in 140 chars or less... that was a lot of cut-and-pasting + ellipses... (hee) |
ah, well, more time with the wife & kids for awhile. :-) |
basically, our 90%-of-business client said "why are we paying for this?", so our CEO said, "well, *I'm* not paying for it." ... |
...and a lot of "early retirements", and the new exec-type didn't have the staff to process the reports we send him, etc., etc., etc.... |
okay, not exactly... the client (who shall remain a nameless 3-headed guardian dog of the underworld) had a lot of resturcturing, and ... |
I TELL you why! because the stuffed shirts in Congress couldn't get off their collective butts to hand over a few $$ to our biggest client! |
so what was it? why was today my last day, several months earlier than I'd intended to resign, BEFORE the apps were ready to implement? |
...maybe poor work ethic? no, manager told me there'd be slow days, and I could do other (non-competing) stuff when not busy... |
...bad site design? couldn't be, was taken directly from corporate site, CEO like the look & feel, test users did too... |
...bad database? again, not a problem. db was solid, secure, and designed to be fully scalable and flexible... |
...shoddy programming? no, they love it, good code + documentation, easy to follow, standardized techniques... |
was it... insubordination? nope, boss liked me, I liked him.... |
they say, "Time is the fire in which we burn." |
@ Wylddelirium if only you'd been buying peanut butter and condoms, too... |
@ madamruppy thanks, now I'm going to have to watch Serenity @ work... |
