Agreed, DCC is a method which brings little worry with what you're getting, who you're getting it from, and who exactly is watching you get it.

But you know, I'm inclined to think they'll naturally overdo it and then IRC will become prone to more investigation and threats.

IRC may be broken--but it always works, and any difficulty using it with splits and such, may weed out some of the lusers ;)

I agree. I don't do this for the money or for the title, I do it because I enjoy it and I do it well. The day my experieces and expertise isn't relevent, is the day I leap off the sears' tower.

Fantastic

I thank all of you for your responses. To answer some questions...

* Yes, I am a valued employee and things would really suck if I left
* I do love my job, I just wish I could spend more time making sure I do it properly.
* Yes, I agree that re-using code is good, but it's usually done for the purpose of charging for it again (something that hits my morals).

I suppose my best option, one many of you have pointed out is to simply bring up the situation to my employer. I work a *lot* of hours and many of them as to ensure the work is done right, and this usually means allocating time at home to do it, while getting other things "started" at work.

I will bring this up at our Monday meeting (tomorrow) and give some really good examples of how things suffer. Thanks very much everyone.
