If you can't do a Support Role, does this mean you should not be in development?
- by Alex
Hi, I've been shifted around roles a lot, and have been put in a support role which seems to deal out a lot of rubbish due to poor business management.
Anyway, my line manager says that he's not sure he would recommend me for a developer role as they regard support as a poor technical role.
What I resent is the fact that not all the information is available to us about what we're supporting and I miss coding. This thing I'm supporting has been regarded as a disaster when it went in and is still highly unstable.
The thing is...does he have a point about Support roles being under developers, or are they completely two different kettle of fish?
