I recently got a job in IT with my local county. I’m in my early 50s mind you. The majority of the workforce is in their 50s and believe that they are owed a pension and that early retirement is some sort of right.

They’ve been there for at least 20 plus years; have never upgraded their skills beyond Windows XP (and I’m sure they went kicking and screaming with that) and are overpaid and underworked. I actually enjoy it when my colleagues are off because I feel like I’m working in the private sector again (their workload plus my workload equals average private sector individual workload).

There’s a “programmer” that has never gone beyond Foxpro and is making twice what I do yet relies on ME to sysprep and image Windows 7 machines so that he can “slum it” by deploying my handiwork!!

You don’t have to sysprep Windows 7. You can’t, in fact.
