Lower management/ Application managers always looking some way to get money by any means necessary.
My manager lost three senior developers and two senior analysts because of his management problem in less than a year from the team and rather than solving the issue and strengthening the team,he find it as a good excuse to out source the team work for his personal benefit and hired contractors from the same company that he outsource the project, for your surprise the hiring process takes only 30 minutes phone call for a senior developer, as far as they are coming from the company he expected he do not care who he is hiring.That is when I make my move to be far away from this team
