Mostly just we wrote simple programs in FORTRAN primarily just to solve things like heat exchanger sizing. There should also be standard ratings that merit salary bumps.Įarly to mid-70s in college, can’t recall IBM Model, 3600 maybe. They don’t improve, they don’t get raises. Improvement should be directly tied to job performance review. Would we expect a surgeon to be only as good after 20-25 years as they were in their first year?įrankly I think anyone that uses a computer for their job should be tested annually to measure improvement in their skills. They don’t remain a combat soldier if they don’t get better. Put forth the effort to learn and become better with it, or you can expect to be paid commensurate with still using a typewriter.Ī soldier is expected to be better with the weapons they use year after year. Want me to remove the computer and tell management you refused to learn to use it? We can get you a legal pad and a number 2 pencil.Ī computer is a tool. The bosses directed me to explain.ĭo you think that 60 years ago when a typewriter was placed on a secretary’s desk that she said, “I’m not a typewriter person” ? When people would tell me that “I’m not a computer person”. We both want to get out of SoFL, but traveling to find the right place to settle is not on the near term menu.
Plus we’ve been fortunate to have the WFH opportunity. Considering the way ‘20-‘21 has turned out, it was good timing to fully retire. Fast fwd to 2020 and wife’s planned retirement for Feb, got pushed to May with WFH starting in March (dining area is now office area), then retirement got delayed again until July and then evolved into a WFH part-time consulting job.
Now I’m helping my son plan a new biz doing the engineering and some biz advising. I had a series of med issues from ‘13-‘19 that basically landed me into a sort of early semi-retirement, did a bit of chem eng work from home, and then a local IT temp job. Retirement has been challenging, but mostly been good to us so far. At this point I’m holding off on going any further with wyze since we just do not need a house full of automation for the two of us and we plan to relo as soon as it’s safe for me to travel.įWIW, not too different here. Pretty cynical thought but that’s how I’ve come to view wyze after going through the doorbell beta and seeing them prematurely push it into retail. Wondering if they moved this to the roadmap just to stop the voting.
