Just to mess with you, it's really PL/I ...
It was a fantastic, leading edge language that should have had a much better
future than it really did.

I was a PL-I expert. That's why I know it's spelled PL-I (roman numerals
not arabic. I always thought this was funny)

Lots of room for doing a crash-and-burn ...
Back when I started in the business in 1982 I had to learn PL-1, the best
darned language that never managed to get a good market share. It was
said that it took four years to really learn how to use it. These days all
you need is a crash course to be an expert!

That is true sometimes. I was hired by Arthur Andersen (RIP), they sent me
to an SAP crash-course, the tipe of course that shows you zillions of
Powerpoint slides and you get out of the course with tons of doubts. Then
they sent me directly to a proyect, and I bet they billed a lot for my
time.
I was introduced as an experienced SAP consultant.

I once worked for a consulting company that wasn't a big 5, but had some
pretty good contact. They hired me out of Montreal on Friday, had me in
Denver on Sunday and spending 2 weeks in a training center so I could
become an instant 'expert' they could hire out for big $$$ on different
projects.
Then I spent 3 months at home while they tried to get some contacts, and
then got canned when they couldn't, then the guys who hired me got canned
...
I can't figure out how these companies can get away with this nonsense.

triple your budget when the big 5 consultant steps out a lamberghini in a
1000 brooks brothers suit
add 25% to the rate if he looks younger than zuckerberg
BTW: big 5 consultants only speak english or hindi..you'll need a hindi
translator for spanish
how about unisys???
