[nfbcs] Complaint against Epic

[Gary Wunder]

Just one caution: it is very flattering to be told that one contains
institutional memory and that he or she is needed to maintain a legacy
system. It is very reassuring to hear that as soon as that legacy system
goes away, one will be trained on the new system. The truth is that by the
time you get through with the legacy system, the people who know the new
system will already have their assignments, you will be the low man on the
totem pole, and you and your management will be looking for other work for
you to do.

It is very difficult for one to think about suing his employer. The
alternative, however, is to watch your job go away in violation of the law.
I'd be glad to talk with you about this in person.

Subject: [nfbcs] Complaint against Epic

I am happy to read about our complaint against Epic, though annoyed it had
to happen.

My shop is switching to Epic.  I theoretically have a choice, whether to go
to the Epic group or stay and support the legacy system.  But our complaint
makes me think I actually have no choice in the matter at all.  Makes me
glad I'm getting old enough to consider retirement.  It will be boring just
working on the legacy system, but at least it's a job, for now.

Tracy
