From what I have heard, Fletcher Allen, Vermont's largest hospital which
is in Burlington, is one of the few places in Vermont where I.T. people get
paid salaries that are more in line with Boston or even NYC. So it is notable to
learn that they will be laying of 10 IT people - software analysts, programmers
and a project manager. This
article in the Burlington Free Press says that FAHC will help these
people find new jobs. I'm skeptical about them finding that many comparable
positions in the Burlington area. The sad part is that the IT department is
probably downsizing is because they have done there jobs too well. I absolutely
wish these guys luck. There is an amazing number of health care related software
companies in Vermont, so hopefully, their background will be a benefit in that
regard.
