Slashdot Mirror

Wow, I have read through a lot of the comments some of them are pretty interesting. Personally, I have become rather disillusioned with the corporate culture. I believe largely they are becoming less and less interested in fostering the development of their employees. It is all about the short term bottom line. Particularly in the IT industry there has been a huge influx of "qualified" people. From my experience the general consensus is that "if you don't want to learn hoe to do your job better on your time, we will find someone who will." That could be some kid just out of college that they can pay a fraction of what an experienced person. (If that statement makes me sound like an old fart... I just broke the 30 barrier) Most companies are not interested in if you have a family or other interests outside of work. Maybe it is just an escape, but my answer has been to tell the corporate culture to 'piss off' and start doing freelance work and start my own business. I'll tell you I might not be making the big bucks quite yet, but I sleep better at night knowing that I don't have to get up and face the "Bob's"... The money will come. http://www.bullshitjob.com/officespace/missingwork .wav

Well Flaimbait, I've worked for assholes like this before. They're usually the neurotic type that have cat's instead of kids. (No offense cat people.) But here, in the real world, people have lives. Lives that involve other people know as 'family.' Some people even consider this 'family' to be more important than their 'job.' So the next time you decide to call and leave 13 messages on the answering machine Mr. Lumbergh, telling us that work starts at 7:30, remember, we just don't care. I could continue mocking you, but you probably think too much of yourself already.

To those who don't get the refrence, I do believe the orignal poster was trying to give them the "Boss from Office Space." kinda spin on them.

Troll? Maybe. Does sound like he could be a real Fortune 100 "IT Manager" though... Bill? That you?

Heh... Any idea how many "IT Managers" there are at Fortune 100 companies? If your guess is correct, my guess is that we have about 99,880 left to post a comment. Mmkay?

:-)

Of course, sometimes people that say that stuff actually live up to their mumbled statements... as seen (or heard) here.

Ever seen Office Space ?
