My company is international in nature, and has about 650-odd IT folks in it. And while I was complaining between the lines a month of so back about my job’s scope being narrowed and my being pushed a rung down the management ladder, it was somewhat gratifying today for me to send an e-mail to the entire IT group about the new web portlet my team was publishing (and which had been desperately needed for many years).
