    I agree with you, Jeff, but who do you talk to? I've known plenty of people that were thinking of leaving, and wouldn't want to let their manager know. And we always find bad managers.

    Having something that helps you decide who to talk to is not a bad system, IMHO.

    Agreed.... I've done it before... if I'm thinking of leaving because of a bad manager, it's too late. The talking process shouldn't start at the Developer level. The folks from the Ivory Tower should come down off the hill and talk to the folks in the trenches. Maybe even beltloop a couple of them for the day just to see what it's like. I'm not talking immediate managers, either.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
