Organisational changes: Multinational team

' ... I had an appraisal a couple of weeks ago with Stuart and one of the things he was saying was, we see one of your strengths as in a more communication type role, dealing with people rather than being completely technical. Now I took this with a bag of salt, never mind a pinch, in that they were a bit concerned that I would ??? as Matt did and go, but I would like to get away from the technical side because you aren't going to go anywhere really if you stay on the technical side of things. ... So if I can do some sort of consultancy on the database side and don't have a ??? job sort of thing, that would be quite good and to try and shift some of the..you know straightforward technical stuff on to other people They can start learning and if they get stuck I can help them hopefully they can do what I'm doing now. ...

That's the nightmare scenario, just getting bunged in as a development programmer, that would be, get Computer Weekly out now. I said as much to Stuart in my appraisal, I said, yes I don't want just to do programming and having done what I've done now, it would be very hard for me to go back. ... I am a little bit concerned about that, because obviously there are certain jobs on the team that have to be done and I, grade wise am a junior member of the team. ... Gus came in from another the team and knew a lot of things. I think he found it difficult to come in knowing nothing and finding people calling the shots. ... '
