That is just my point, Once you are happy that the Lead has the 'work styles' & ethics that you want, that is it! He will make sure that that is carried forward/maintained. I think sometimes 'management' perceives the standards that will be set by the 'lead' to be to restrictive, and that they struggle to fill the positions, but forget about the consequences if they disregard his 'lead'. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Fochtman Sent: 13 Februarie 2008 02:54 nm To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: z/OS system programmer staffing --------------------<snip>------------------- >It all depends what your structure is.

Only when management decided that my participation was unnecessary did the atmosphere change. New people with different work styles can sometimes lead to friction and that's never a good thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html Elavon Financial Services Limited Registered in Ireland: Number 418442 Registered Office: Block E, 1st Floor, Cherrywood Business Park, Loughlinstown, Co.
