Here's a happy note Ellis to lift you out of your gloom....In Statetech =
magazine I read this morning, "In 2001, the state (Delaware) dissolved =
the IT organization, then spent two years rebuilding it from =
scratch....by making the state's salary structure similar to private =
industry, Delaware was able to rehire about 80% of its IT staff and also =
lured tech workers from the private sector." =20
A careful reading of that sentence tells me that Delaware was able to =
SHED 20% of it's dead weight... Way to go Delaware! Anyway, Ellis you =
have provided the most entertaining reading I have experienced in =
awhile. If you give up on IT you can join Scott Adams (Dilbert) or Dave =
Barry as a commentator. <g>

It's interesting how an organization can get on an upward spiral of =
attracting talented, hard-working developers or on a downward spiral of =
driving them off. All it takes is the change of one key person and an =
entire organization can jump on the downward spiral very fast. Sadly, =
it doesn't work the other way.
