TravisDBA (1/17/2011)
... I actually interviewed at a position once where the manager stated right out front that ALL of his developer staff had sysadmin rights to ALL of the production boxes and he asked if I had a problem with that. I told him that was a recipe for disaster and his response was "Well that is the way it is here....".
...
It sounds to me like that hiring manager was tad bit defensive and uptight, and I have a good idea why he's always looking for a new DBA.
