Hi-tech Work Places no Better than Factories?

Anonymous Coward writes "A tasty bit of truth. Again, a Sociology Professor has found out what we all know. He wistfully comments on the state of geekdom in the modern corporation: "They face the lonely insecurity of the individual entrepreneur in a marketplace and culture that stresses, with macho imagery from war and sports, that they are ultimately alone" and adds that... "For many this may be the shape of work in the 21st century." You want to start a union? I mean how much is your boss making at your expense even if he did start the company long before you joined up?"

By the standard of common sense of a non-partisan human being. There are different forms of work and accompanying difficulty. There is VERY little that a CEO does that could actually be considered mentally or physically challenging in their day-to-day when compared to real physical or mental labor. About the most strenuous thing they have to deal with occasionaly is public appearances and meetings with boards. The way I see it, the janitor should be paid at least what UNIX admin makes because both jobs are pretty much in the business of cleaning up the shit that their users input into the systems. -1 Troll +1 Funny
