As it happens, you are precisely right. 8 years ago was boom-time and exactly similar conditions prevailed. then came the melt-down due to 9.11 and the dotcom bust. Suddenly techies were a dime a dozen. Many of them sobered up. but new cohorts have joined or are joining every year. Conditions swung around sometime in 2003 end 2004 beginning. They have all the slimy habits the earlier ones had.
Having said this, and having watched how we treat them, they do have a justification - somewhere.

Excuse me - but isn't this an old story?
I mean "old" as in at least 7-8 years old. Young "techies" have so many jobs
on offer that it is a "buyer's market" so to speak.
A couple of months ago I saw a news item that stated that Bangalore (or was it
India) would be short of techies to the tune of 500,000 by 2010. Is it any
wonder that people can pick up and drop jobs at will? I am advising young
medical graduates to seek a career in Infotech.
I speak from the viewpoint of a person who used to live in the UK and see
local newspaper reports that said "Yippee - 17 local jobs created".
