  • Well, on call got worse considering four people (myself included) left within 2 months. But now they are cutting the offshore team out of the picture. They handled a lot of the after hours duties for the biggest client. Without them handling that anymore, there will be all nighters for whomever is on call.

    • Deb - did the offshore team not cut it for the on call?

      • Off shore handled most of the calls for only this one client, contacting us only on issues they were unable to resolve. But the users at that site HATED dealing with them. Finally, the client demanded an all U.S. team or they would cancel the contract - of course that means they have to pay more for it, though.

        The other clients had the U.S. team written into their contract already.

        • Gotcha, I'm familiar with that type of situation but so far they are plowing ahead with the offshoring.

          • Hope that doesn't impact you negatively.

                • I picked up The Princess Bride for 5 bucks at Wal-Mart and watched it with the family a couple of days ago. It was the first time the kids have seen it.

                  My 7 year old is walking around the house saying "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

                  Ha!

                                Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.
