I'll tell my situation publically. The CICS guy is retiring at the end of June. My Boss/Adabas DBA left for greener pastures a couple months ago.
Two others in the group with "limited" skill and one new 25 something, who is sure to be pirated away soon. Yes, I'm a small shop (1 prod, 1 development, 2 sandbox LPARS) z9BC-L03. I'm just going to do the best I can and see where we get. It's unlikely we'll replace them (just starting the 5 years to leave the mainframe project here) and we can't pay competitive salary anyway. I'd leave myself, but I really like where I live.
