( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Beautiful!++ Thanks for writing this.

In my somewhat limited $work experience, after having been through a few layoff rounds (and now forced vacations & salary cut), I've often asked myself whether we could change our "fate" the next time the chopping block, so to speak, comes around.

My current opinion is that management really labels the individual professional, like a stamp on the forehead, with the most resounding technical skill which distinguishes that individual. There's not much the individual can do if that skill is deemed obsolete, despite showing great aptitude to change/learn/adapt to a new technical skill. If it's layoff time, and there's someone else with a forehead stamp that's in demand but yours is obsolete, well... let's just say it'd probably be worth more of your time to scrub the stamp off your forehead first than it is to jump into textbooks learning up the new in-demand skill.

I'm very likely to be wrong here since this is a gross generalization. Anyone with similar experience, contradicting takes, etc.?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
