Yes. This... yes.
All you can do as a professional, with experience, is offer up an argument and attempt to make it convincing enough to compel people to do things your way. If they reject your option, defend only once, and no more. After that, simply step back and work with whatever technologies are decided upon.
You can also attempt to work the social networking game and play (internal) politics. If you do these successfully you're more likely to get your ideas heard and implemented. I find this tiresome.
Ultimately if I'm being polite, professional and basing my arguments on facts and evidence, and they're being rejected, I'm not expelling any more energy on this front. Move on. Work on and with what's decided and have fun doing it.
- pojzon 8y ago> work with whatever technologies are decided upon. It may sound great when you learn something new, but when you worked with a technology and you know its deprecated crap - as a professional - you should also consider your own career.. Work on crap nobody uses for 5 years and you are so handicapped by that you "will" find a new job, but rather not a good one. Not everyone can spend hours at home to keep up with the industry.
- oblib 8y agoThat's true, but not really the same thing. I was looking for work once and went to place that made wheelchair lifts for vans and buses. There was a miscommunication about what they were hiring for and when I got there they took me out to a drill press with a stack of thousands of parts on carts that needed a hole drilled in them. I politely declined the position.
