Nothing wrong with that if you provide training and time to get up to speed.

What do you mean by "It's not in the budget."?

I knew a couple of VP's who didn't understand why mainframe folks weren't 
interchangeable.

You have too many MVS guys and need a CICS guy.  Move an MVS guy over to the 
CICS team.  What could be simpler?

LOL.  When things like the "Project Management Office" became common in maybe 
the late 1990's where I worked, they called us Resources.  I remember writing a 
note back saying I'm not a lump of coal or even a vein of gold.

The real problem though, was like you mentioned, they treated us as a simple 
headcount.  That didn't work because it might take 10 of me to do the work of 
(for example) one good CICS person, if I can figure it out at all.
