Re: Do you believe....
School administration is always pretty conservative. The faculty is liberal. Liberals will teach other people how to do things. Conservatives hang on to and protect special knowledge as "job security". They invented: "Nice guys finish last."
Anyone who has been out working in the world, then gone to school to reinvent themselves will see this as plain as the day is long.
I have always taught others things that I know how to do. Yes, even today in the working world. It did bite me one time when the guy that I trained to do everything stayed on while I was let go. He may have been cheaper to keep during hard times. He's still a good friend of mine.
All of the secret keepers were let go as soon as the new owners took over. They just gave their computers to those of us that stayed to do the work of two or more employees.
