Let me ask all of you. You were always afraid of the dark side , are you still.
What does a customer need when a system is installed?
Help with their migration efforts/vmotion as an example, maybe assistance provisioning, maybe help with performance bottlenecks
Do you all consider gearing up for being able to accomplish those tasks or did you say I’ll leave that to the asm or sa/se, if you did why?
I was a hss moved in to a storage asm and then left to be a presales se in the channel
Your career has to continue to grow and flourish
Yes age discrimination does exist as I myself is in the job market and with all my experience have had positives and negatives
So if you have not done anything other then what was required in your bandbox what did you think would eventually happen
Wfrs have been occurring for years, hoping your number wouldn’t get picked, does that make sense
Businesses are built on roi, and when you cannot achieve roi things occur
No one wants to lose their job but I’m sorry it’s up to you to make sure you are prepared
Life is not static
Also as we get older appearance changes occur unless your a celebrity, have you made sure you have worked on that
All of this truly matters when your at of work
Your resume, when is the lady time you updated it
If you were the hiring mgr would you consider it or trash it
Folks
This unisys thing is a reality check on every one of you
The rest is up to you all
