[AccessD] OT - My union grievance

And that is precisely the point.  John was attempting to validate his
position (job).  Yet he constantly runs into apps written by end users.
That implies that John's dept doesn't have enough personnel to adequately
support the users, which is precisely the validation of his job.

I was hired to write a simple subscription app once because this huge IT
department wouldn't do it -- insisted they didn't have the personnel or
time. Didn't hurt my feelings. :) I guess it was cheaper to hire me than to
hire more full-time employees.
