• There is a huge advantage in pulling the tekkies out of IT and having them learn part of the business.

    In another life and century I worked for a major motor carrier. People who did not deal with drivers could take a 2 day course called Driver Reality. We learned a lot. We even got to see people in cars pull in front of rigs in traffic. Fortunately the cars were not crushed since the truck driver would have been blamed. Few if any ever went on to become truck drivers. But we learned an entirely different aspect of the business and returned to the tech world with a slightly altered view of the world.
