What are you thoughts on working from home one or more days a week under a telecommuting program. Have you been involved in any studies or evaluations of the monetary savings and increases in productivity that can result from effective telecommuting.

How do you insulate your team from external politics and agendas, while still communicating openly to the team?

How would you respond or handle a situation whereby a DBA accidentally destroys some data or a database? What types of incidetns would you accept and what what you consider unacceptable?

Is the candidate technical and if so at what level?

What are your thoughts regarding ongoing training for technicians?
