    I thought that it was interesting that Microsoft, a company that is creating the leading edge of software technology in North America, can't hire competent financial staff. 😛

    I told the...

    I tend to think that we ought to have separate sample dbs.

    Separate databases also works.

    I love the way it sounds much more official when it...

  • RE: Guest Editorial: Improving Northwind

    Why not still keep it simple with multiple training databases. So, keep Northwind as a general database. Then you can have one simple database that shows how to use analysis...

  • RE: Union Benefits

    There are 2 things that I really like about a union - and they both have to do with pay structure and seniority.

    1) There is a well defined job description...

  • RE: Up Your Value

    Steve S. (3/5/2009)


    This boss definitely does not have your best interest at heart.

    Yeah - no kidding. I have no clue whether he is trying for a, b, or c.

    The...

  • RE: Up Your Value

    Really, it depends on your boss.

    I had a list of accomplishments that I brought up in my review. In 2008, I definitely went above and beyond what other programmers...

  • RE: Adoption

    We are running on 2005 here - but it sounds like this company was a late-adopter of even 2005. We would like to move to 2008 for the better BI...

    I enjoyed blandry's response 😀 and I completely agree. Why should a corporation with excessive or short-sighted business practice...

  • RE: Guest Editorial: Information is Power

    I agree that knowledge is power. But having knowledge is not the same as abusing knowledge. The problem is not with having a database full of information. It is the...

    One of my favourite Canadians is David Suzuki and he did a portion on one of his TV shows on passively heated homes in Germany. I guess this is a...

    Information is power, and chargeback at a high...

  • RE: Chargeback

    J (2/25/2009)Turf war: bean counters trying to split the beans in different piles.

    That is exactly what I was talking about: shortsightedness and self-importance.

    At the end of the day, someone...

  • RE: Chargeback

    This is a larger issue for any department that is considered overhead. HR, administrative assistants, janitorial services, as well as IT. These are global resources to the company - how...

  • RE: Conservative or Risky?

    Where I work, the leadership is not risky. The growth is slow, the opportunities for employees are very few. On the other hand, my job is relatively safe. In the...

  • RE: Global Warming and Business Intelligence

    Well Steve,
