That's not the point, chief, and you know it.
What went down in the HP plant shouldn't.
1. They should at least make a living, not subsitance.
2. They should at least be given a modicum of respect, not treated as disposible.
3. They should be allowed to better themselves with some reasonable expectations.
These are pretty basic needs, weather your stuffing boxes or the back of a garbage truck. (BTW: Stuffing a garbage truck pays 5 times better)
Yes, everyone has their place, but, not as slaves.
And please note, not a word about what the employees think. Can you say 'drones' instead of worker. Same difference. They may have installed all that fancy equipment, but, I'm pretty sure they cut wages to pay for it.
That's life?? Pretty apethetic sounding. "That's life, so, don't bother me with it." It's that kind of attitude that most employers hope for. The economics are simple, pay what you can get away with, not what it's worth. Many people just don't have the option of picking up and moving away. That takes cash reserves. And those people described, can barely set the table with food. Reality may bite, but, the truth is, it doesn't have to.
You know, this blows. I can list companies on one hand that could use some bad mouthing to change thier best practices (worst practices) in regards to employees and missions. Now, if we can't voice our opinions because we can't afford the right to defend ourselves, what is that telling our kids? Sorry, son, you have to wear this gag because the WeSaySo Corp doesn't want you to critisize them. It's one thing to critisize a company when you're working for them, quite another when you aren't. Orson Wells didn't have a clue.
I'll qualify myself in saying, I'm not a programmer yet, but, I'm learning Perl.
Now, for my humble opinion, probably from indoctorination of a Unix environment;
I feel that windows applications are rarely simple. Take a look at defrag in windows, there are two versions, one windows based for 95 - ME. And the old command line version. I prefer the command line version. I'm under the impression that if you build a gui version of a command line tool, it's gets piggish. That feels like a step back. However, software like Word, is neccesarily complex, which is fine. I hope I use good judgement, when writing software in my future, that I can keep simple tools on the command line, and complex tools and apps using a gui. To be honest, I've played with a few gui based dev tools and I think I'll need them to keep track of the structure of my app.
