< "Has anybody experienced your employer paying no attention to RIM, even hiring a person specilized in RIM, but not providing too much supports, inputs or even comments to most of your proposals. How did you handle this, and was this a situation you can survive and succeed?">
 
I agree with Mary H (<"be patient and continue to espouse what youknow to be in the best interest of your organization">) but I would also add that it's important to take a step back and ask yourself if lack of support for RM might be because 1) your organization doesn't urgently need RM yet because of current political or legal conditions (for example if you work for pretty much any Canadian government organization), or if 2) your organization doesn't understand yet why RM is important. Why fight an uphill battle when your skills as an RM professional are increasingly valued and well-paid in the marketplace? Look at the explosion of eDiscovery as a virtual sub-industry. You can get a better job. I did. The marketplace is sorting itself out and your skills are valuable. Don't let myopic employers undermine your self-confidence.
