2023-04-07 "The company that does't or cannot say "No", whenever asked to move something" [長年日記]

Seniors workers have an image of being "window-dressers".

But now I am outside the window -- an "outdoor construction site".

As a worker, when I see elderly craftsmen working hard at road and building construction sites, I want to rub shoulders with them, sing with them, and have a drink with them -- really. (I am currently in my fourth year of sobriety).

-----

To put my current job in a nutshell, I am the sole proprietor of a company called "Ebata Software Development, Inc."

However, at this company, (1) I make the order specifications myself, (2) I decide the delivery date myself, and (3) maintenance after completion depends on my own mood. From the perspective of other software outsourcing companies, this is the kind of work that would make them "furious.

Therefore, the company is not ordinary one.

-----

This situation may be brought about by a severe shortage of labor.

This is because a large number of engineers are sent in at the new hire stage, who can talk about "upstream processes" and "concepts," but have no experience in creating things.

That's why I can't let go of my "kinezuka" -- my "kinezuka" is now in tatters.

Frankly, I believed that 'when I become a senior, I will be displaced by young people who will use up all the new technology.

However, when we open the lid, we find that not only construction sites and system development, but also the whole of Japan is relying on "seniors" (a disastrous situation).

-----

Well, this is not so much "their (the newcomer's)" fault, but rather "the employer's (the company's)" fault.

It doesn't matter if it's a hobby, study, or part-time job, I still don't know how a guy who has never put together a system on his own can build things.However the application guidelines certainly say that.

Programming experience is not a requirement for employment."

Well, it is true that it is no good if one can only program, but I highly doubt that a person without even programming experience can talk about systems.

I detest excessive fieldwork, but it is very difficult for me to accept a person who has never built a system (or even a web page) from scratch by themselves as a member of the manufacturing community.

-----

So, was Ebata able to program when he joined the company?

In fact, my programming skills at the time I joined the company were about the N80-BASIC level, so called "just working".

I think the real coding started after I joined the company -- so my skills at the time I joined were the same as a young person today.

The rest is just personal ideological differences.

I believe that "not moving" is the same as "not existing".

-----

However, "Ebata Software Development" is not a company that only needs to do programming.

The company was asked to create a 20-page presentation in an hour, write a research report in a day, crush a software subcontractor's program malfunction, present at a conference, calculate budgets, place various orders, take university classes, give lectures, and so on. --

Howeve, it is
