> Thought for the Week
> --------------------
> Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,
> A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed,
> But then one day he was talking to a recruiter,
> Who said, "they pay big bucks if ya work on a computer..."
> Windows, that is... PC's... Internet...
>
> Well, the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an engineer.
> The kinfolk said, "Jed, move away from here".
> They said "California is the place ya oughta be",
> So he packed up his disks and moved to Silicon Valley...
> Intel, that is... Pentium ... big amusement park...
>
> On his first day at work, they stuck him in a cube.
> Fed him lots of donuts and sat him at a tube.
> They said "your project's late, but we know just what to do.
> Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you 52!"
> OT, that is... unpaid... no personal days...
>
> The weeks rolled by and things were looking pretty bad.
> Schedules started slipping and some managers were mad.
> They called another meeting and decided on a fix.
> The answer was simple... "We'll work him 66!"
> Tired, that is... stressed out... no social life...
>
> Months turned to years and his hair was turning gray.
> Jed worked very hard while his life slipped away.
> Waiting to retire when he turned 64,
> Instead he got a call and escorted out the door.
> Laid off, that is... de-briefed... unemployed...
>
> Now the moral of the story is listen to what you're told,
> Companies will use you and discard you when you're old.
> So gather up your friends and start up your own firm,
> Beat the competition, watch the bosses squirm.
> Millionaires, that is... Bill Gates... Steve Jobs...
> Y'all come back now... ya hear'
