But there is one difference between the 80s and now. If you got hired in the 80s, the company would train you in their processes and the systems you would work on. This is even if you had experience, only the training would be more intense. In some cases, you were not expected to be productive even after 1 month. Now, no matter your experience, you are expected to know what to do the very second you walk in the door. I have seen this a lot over the past 20+ years. Plus if it seems you are not a quick learner, out the door you go. edit: fixed spelling of walk :)
