Sense of Entitlement and Bleeding Edge requirements

by mbramlett032 . Updated 17 years, 12 months ago

Maybe it is just me, and maybe it is “just me” because I am over the age of 40 but; am just curious if other IT managers run into this hiring issue:
New talent is “constantly surprised” that you do not have ‘state-of-the-art’, all current, bleeding edge software / hardware?????
I run a small software company and it is becoming a somewhat of a sore point, that no – we do not offer blackberry; no – we do not develop on Vista machines and no; we have not implemented MS2008 servers yet.

Not only that—- but yes – we still use antiquated T1s (not 300mbps Fios).

Is it just because of my age, because our company is not listed on the stock-exchange – or what??
