A terse email from the VP of Personnel announced that the IT Manager no longer worked for the company.

He’ll be remembered by most, not fondly though: we all have stories about this strange character.

Someone asked me if I was interested in that job. After some thought while running home tonight I think not. It’s an admin position with 3 or 4 subordinates, budgetting for several hundred leased PCs, a PBX, ISP, software licences, etc. There’s no hint of technical software development in that.
