During that visit, we decided to see technical recruiters in several cities (Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton) taking up approximately four days of our time...and among everyone we met, we saw exactly nothing in terms of the sort of changes in business culture required to have us give up what we have in California and return to Ohio. The region is still governed by risk averse old men (and people who think like them, to curry political favor) and the salary rates are still subterranean and there's very little security in employment. ALL of these are among the reasons we took our transfer to Dallas in 1995.<br /><br />Until the region's business culture changes to better match its southern competitors and until Right To Work legislation is passed, nothing good will happen there. You can add that to the badly needed modernization of physical infrastructure and wholesale upgrade of educational levels of normal, every day working folks you see on the street - and it WILL NOT happen in my lifetime.rootvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524524048523221143noreply@blogger.com
