I have
had that same issue in the past but I don't have it here. I find
that
as
long as you have your managements support and the development
team
knows
that then life will be much easier. I am very lucky here in that
I
have
good management and a very well trained senior development
team
to
work with. Not that there are never disagreements but comprise is
the
name
of the game. You just got to be picky on what you let them think you
are

Pondering Question of the Day-RESPECT
"Hello Oracle Guru"
Now why is it that I get more respect on the
Internet than I do in my workplace. ??
How many of you have this problem? It's like
an ongoing fight with developers, they want carte blanche in the production
database, and they do whatever they want EVEN THOUGH I tell them NO, let's do
something different that won't affect production. I go to the CTO
because this is like the 3rd time this has happened, and he sends out a
let's-be-sure-not-to-offend-anyone email. But the developer(s) will go
ahead and do what they want ANYWAY. I'm waiting for the first
user-mistake recovery to say STOP, I've had ENOUGH and this is how it's going
to be, no ifs, ands or buts.
My last job may have been a sweatshop, but at least
people respected my authority. Here, it's a free for all no matter what
I do. Even when I say, Dude, I own the database. If there's a
problem, I have to fix it. Therefore I say what happens in production
and what doesn' t happen in production.
And yes, I am looking for another position. I
can only take this dba/developer/janitor role for so long.
I'M SO GLAD IT'S FRIDAY... Bring on the
Captain Morgan! It's noon somewhere...
