[quote]The article quotes a consultant on how hard it is to find COBOL programmers; he says you usually have to draw them out of retirement. Problem is, if there were any such folks on the employment rolls in California, Gov. Schwarzenegger fired them all last week, too.[/quote]
LOL.

Participant[quote]Democratic state controller John Chiang (Schwarzenegger is a Republican, despite his marriage into the Kennedy family) told the Sacramento Bee that it would take at least six months to reconfigure the state’s payroll system to issue blanket checks at minimum wage. The state had hired retired Cobol experts to work part-time on the system. Schwarzenegger fired them last week.[/quote]
Typical. I see the same out of MBAs.. ignoring fundamental operating requirements.. no need to service or maintain the existing machines, even though payroll depends upon it. Lets go into blind cost cutting mode, and see how much that costs us!!
