Re: Not specific to IT
There is also a problem in that programmers sometimes talk to each other - and when the word gets around that the PHBs have a reputation for bullying tech staff, discriminatory behaviour, imposing impossible deadlines or failing to take advice from people who actually know what they are talking about, it is unhelpful to the recruiting process.<p>
Offering only about half the going rate for the job is also an unhelpful strategy. (Mr Dyson, I am looking at you on this one).
