From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Barkow, Eileen
that in most medium to large organizations, lines do need
to be drawn
in order to keep people focused on the jobs they are hired to do
I take this to mean keep them stupid so that they cannot get
a job anywhere else.
ITYM "dumb" rather than "stupid" ("dumb" is curable via education;
"stupid" is as "stupid" does).
That was actually a stated policy in a university (!!) where I worked
previously. In that boss's own words, "If we allow you more training,
your marketability will be enhanced and you'll leave us for more money
somewhere else."
Not just univeristies. There was a period of time when many businesses
also adopted that policy. <sarcasm>Thank goodness those days
are past.</sarcasm>
