Your Replacement Starts Next Week
October 23rd, 2008
The words a contractor does not want to hear. I know the company has a full-time need that I can’t support, but it did feel better knowing that there was a gap. I asked about the new guy.
Oh, he’s an old friend. Lots of C/C++ work on Unix. Some Oracle work.
But, the shop is all Java against SQL Server.
Oh, don’t worry about that. He’s a good, long-timer.
Any web work?
No, but that won’t be a problem. (The shop produces web applications)
How about he works on the current software to kind of see how things work? That’s mostly SQL work at this point.
No, we were thinking he would jump in on the new product (A Java Spring app with every bleeding edge Java tool known)
Great. Sounds like it will be a perfect fit.
