of people leaving. I think the odds of your ploy are low.

I am a bit of a generalist and every job change meant some new skills. I was pretty good at adapting. But it was Silicon Valley, and eventually, I failed the age test. Now, I'm not just blaming. An agency gave me a "guru" rating in email servers, and it failed to impress that fruit company.

Good luck.

By the way, it's really tough selling to your own company. Companies have two modes of operation, depending on some random fluctuation.

1. Stuff created outside the company is far better than what our people can do. ( excellent presentation! )
2. If it's "not invented here", it's inferior and impossible to integrate. ( what a bunch of marketing BS! )
