I would have a problem taking a paycheck from some of these attitudes. Why
can't people see the two edges of this sword? And why do I get the feeling
that some people are talking about rather low-level jobs and environments.
Someone said they hire a lot of technical writers--and I keep thinking,
better fewer but better.
Incompetent hiring is incompetent hiring whether the manager is crabby,
disillusioned, or oft "burned". It's not the economy,or the employee, it's
the management.
