Woo-hoo. Employed again!

Hmm...

Well, I know two people very well who have worked for them in the past.
One was in tech support, the other in a pre-sales role. They both
describe their experience as hellish, with constant extreme pressure
from very poor management and measurement against bizarre metrics.

Maybe they were unlucky, maybe things have changed in the intervening
five or so years.

I doubt it somewhat. I would rather drive an HGV all day than work
for a company like M$, HP et all.

I had a Dinky one of those, when I was a nipper. And a Centurion as
well.

A top notch software engineer with a doctorate for £20K !!!!

I'll be encouraging my kids to give up school at the earliest
opportunity if that's what they'll be earning after several years of me
supporting them for their research.

Sir had not.

Ewww... Where was that, Nuremberg?

And surely someone at that level knows not to wear a pale blue shirt on
stage?

What an angry man that is.

 

Yeah, boys toys.
My favourite was this(before they started putting governors on them)

XK120 4.2 Jag engine, once coaxed mine to 70 mph(downhill + tailwind)
Startled the local Polizei on the autobahn.

Two wheels safer now(mostly)

 

See, a few months on the dole and you'll be an out of shape bloater too.

 

I think I see the problem.

You're not supposed to say Jesus H. Christ, you're supposed to say "I
could do that, gizza job."

 

I *wouldn't* do that for a job.

 

Not even if you got paid as much as Ballmer?

No.

 

It is rather disturbing.

 

Meh, keep at it.

On a lighter note, I just got offered a job in Barrow on a TOP SECRET
PROJECT. I was told not to reveal what I'd be working on. Except it's
fucking obvious, being Barrow.

Money is shit, pension is shit, Barrow is shit, no relocation
expenses, but I want a 40" Sony LCD TV, so I'll have to suck it up
like a $2 whore.

 

I'm not sure I'd want to be the guy that Microsoft got in its sights if
you see what I mean
