Current Events > Our company is so screwed, lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

20+ year old SQL database CRM

The system architect is retiring this year
The wife of the systems architect who lead up the client services team for the past 30 years is retiring with him
The CEO had a stroke last year and is barely involved anymore anyway
The lead senior dev retired last year (he was here from the start)
The only other senior delphi dev is retiring in the next 2-3 years (she was here 20 years)

Who does that leave? Well the new operations director (OD) is a woman with an english degree who worked in HR and marketing before this. She can't even use the system on a basic front end user level. That's it. That's who we have on a directorship level replacing this lot.

Cherry on top of the cake. They (OD) won't recruit any developers unless it's someone local. Any idea how hard it is to find a delphi/SQL developer who is prepared to commute an hour to the countryside every day? (Impossible. It's impossible.)

Gl with that lol

Did you also post about your company not offering any days at all for remote work, like a while back?

Probably. It's something I complain about a lot.

I cannot for the fucking life of me understand their in-office policy for developers. I get it for the support team and the admin team, but for people who need to be both highly skilled (and therefore hard to find) and like to be left alone and surrounded by comfort...well duh, no wonder they cant find no one
