If we extended this managerial sense of entitlement to other professions, chefs would starve, electricians would have to sit in the dark, and accountants would be unable to go shopping. The final nail in the coffin at my last but one job was them refusing to sign a copyright waiver for my work on FSF/GNU projects. They had no claim to that work anyway. In my current job, my contract starts with some bullshit about devoting all my efforts to the company or something. I have a family, so I assume I am breaking the terms of my contract. Alan Liu's "The Laws of Cool" is good reading for this. As is Scott Adams's "Dilbert Gives You the Business". And "Private Eye". - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
