Crap. Senior Developer just made a joke about looking for a new job.
It was just a joke, but prompted by the sheer intransigence of management in integrating our business processes to the new system (instead of trying to modify the system to our current business process) and all the problems its causing.
Pretty much he's the one bashing management's head against the wall right now - with limited success, unfortunately; their skulls seem to be made of titanium. He's the one with the extensive knowledge of how the system we worth with works - the whole grand master plan of it - and who works out consequences that most people don't have the vision for.
He's good at what he does, he enjoys it, and a company should bend over backwards to make sure he doesn't escape their clutches.
Me? I'm a peon programmer and a fairly average one at that. I enjoy this work (sometimes), and I'm reasonably good at it.
This guy? Is brilliant at his job, has an excellent work ethic, and is generally okay to get along with.
And I think he's beginning to entertain thoughts of skipping out. (Not that I can blame him, exactly.)
Crap.
