Post #138,612 by bepatient 1/29/04 1:55:39 PM Reply	Well.... ...I did the proper thing...told the company I'm going to that I needed to give adequate and proper notice...the simple 2 week minimum would not be appropriate for a 15 year veteran like myself. So they hem...then haw...but agree to this. And I was thinking these last few days would be bringing the poor bastard that replaced me up to speed. However, >today<...one day before I leave...I am in the boss's office for a "succession planning" session. Its so "normal" for around here that I didn't even think to post it here.

Post #138,614 by mmoffitt 1/29/04 1:59:25 PM Reply	Makes you feel great, doesn't it? That management no longer considers a good, productive, long-time employee as something special? Not today, we're all transient cogs, ever increasingly easily replaced with $6,000/year Indians. What a swell time to be an employee in the U.S. Sheesh. bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.
