I'm really not looking forward to the interview portion of the game. I'm not sure I can maintain civility in the face of absurdity.

I don't care about the money. I just wanna write code for a living.

If you kill an HR type in Texas, isn't the jury verdict likely to be "they needed killing"? Confused | :confused:

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This is not a new development. How have you managed before?

Currently I've been tasked with documenting all the error numbers in our code. I'm at 1464 entries and not all of them unique. I just discovered another set, these with 5 digits instead of 4.

Documenting code is preferable to working in qlikview...

Never seen qlikview but it must be bad to say what I'm doing is preferable.

I would rather eat a cracker smeared with fecal jelly than work in qlikview.

That is one bullet I dodged, that crap went to a junior dev and I get stuck with overseeing a java development that is being off-shored to Hyderabad. I get to read and check other peoples code and make sure the functionality matches the spec.

I'm looking forward to retirement Sigh | :sigh:

Hi,

Happy New Year everyone.

Ok till last month, I was working in a technical department and all of a sudden our tech director (who was working from last 20 years) resigned. So 20 years of knowledge gone in 3 weeks.

Technical team had development, design and IT support guys.

Now the management decided instead of hiring a new tech director they made commercial director our head and moved product managers and few marketing guys to our department. Now our department consists of developers, web architect, designers, IT support guys, marketing assistants, product managers, commercial director.

Now it's no more just technical team as we have marketing, commercial people in our department.So biggest dilemma facing us at the moment is what we call ourselves as a team. lol.

And the first rule is it can't include digital...
And that's the end of the rules

Any suggestions??

Thanks

Call it "Dilbert", because it sounds like you might be heading for a few of those situations.

Cheers,
