Here's the way I see it would develop: Day one - lets' hire 2 Admin Dba's & 1 Tech Dba - cost = $20+$20+$40 = $80/hour
One year later - stock price drops - sales are slow - damager says "save money" - fire one Admin Dba, 2nd admin dba gets all the duties or is let go. new cost = $20+$40=$60 Damager also decides that the Tech Dba should be responsible for more SA activities - fires the lone SA person. saves another salary. Another year later - again - stock price drops - sales are slow - damager fires remaining Admin Dba. Tech DBA reads the writing on the wall - either he/she will be working 80 hour weeks, or leaves the company - decides to quit. where is the company now? I can easily see the above happening. There are *many* people on this list that this has happened to. Except, they stayed at their company because there are not many positions available and they are stguck working with cell phones/pagers/beepers etc 24 hours a day. todays market is driven by the stock price - not by the utopia you described. have fun! :) Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 3:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L At 10:38 AM 7/22/2002 -0800, Mercadante, Thomas F wrote: >OMG!
