No, I don't think the problem is typical for Germany. I can tell you that is also typical for my country and i suspect i might by typical for the whole globalized IT.
I sympathy with you because i've experienced such problems at work too. You have to either find some hacekers' job (difficult) or redefine your work into goal/responsibility orientated mode ie you are evaluated by your results and time you've achieved them. in this way the means you're using (VIM, etc) ought not to matter for your manager as gets good quality in good time. this also puts 'the conservatists' in difficult position as they will find it hard to catch you up. So you can at least ask for a raise :) good luck and stay cool warm regards zbigniew Dnia 10-04-2006 o godz. 21:14 Bertram Scharpf napisał(a): > Hi, > > > first thank you all very much for the backings.
