I think we passed that point of no return a while back. Like decades ago. I've been in this business long enough, and been public enough with my criticisms of various employers long enough, that by now anyone who interviews me should realize that if they don't want their upper management to be criticized for the stupid things they do, then they should make sure that their upper management doesn't do stupid things. When I graduated from college and started my first real job, I had a habit of calling things as I saw them. And not everyone was happy about that. As I've matured, I think I've moved into the phase where I call them as they are. And not everyone has been happy about that. I'm not sure, but I don't think I am quite yet to the phase where they would be as I call them. If you don't know what the above paragraph is in reference to, see the "Which Umpire Are You?" thread at <http://www.hawkeyelounge.com/archive/index.php/t-35692.html>. Frankly, I've heard much worse comments on campus, told by people with far less consideration of who might happen to be standing around nearby. If upper management wants to gun for someone who's been criticizing them for their stupidity, I think there's a lot of people they'd have to go through before they'd get to me. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
