Ok fellow full-time employee DBAs I have a question. (Not for contractors :)
How many of you use project accounting at your place of work. Where every hour
has to be accounted for against projects, or maintenance or some other code?
I was basically told I'm not "visible enough" --- this is 1 year after
receiving a ton of awards and accolades for solving a problem at one of our
sister companies. Now it "appears" that my value to the company is being
questioned. I imagine questions like "What does he do all day?" are being
asked.
Usually I lump database support into 1 group, and patches/maintenance into
another group and performance tuning into a 3rd group. Now, I'm goign to have
to start micromanaging my hours. I work for an internal IT department at a
large corporation. I think we bill the other departments for services, but not
sure.
Anyone else have to deal with this?
