Confessions of an IT Employee
by Shalini P Sawkar
Confessions of an IT Employee:
#101 I took the job that everybody took.
#201 If a conference room is involved, it is bad news.
#301 Signing the bond—felt more like imprisonment and a lot less like employment.
#401 Last year, the company reported revenue of 30 billion US dollars. And yet, what they're paying us is not peanuts. It is the empty shell of the peanuts!
#501 Your colleagues are not your friends, they said. Were they right?
