Mark commented on my article about tech managers kvetching about their long hours. The response is brilliant and I thought I would share it here. An excerpt, “Chris, you heartless monster. You simply have no idea how utterly exhausting it is exploiting cheap Third World labor.”
“Chris, you heartless monster. You simply have no idea how utterly exhausting it is exploiting cheap Third World labor. After a long, hard day of grinding the underclass under the heal of my jackboot with barely a moment’s break for a civilized cup of tea, I am just knackered. And all their whinging and moaning about being oppressed and their continual attempts to rise up and all that really become trying after a while.”
“I’ll tell you what, old boy. You spend a few months forcing the yoke of oppression upon the bent and straining necks of the working class and then you see if you can make such callous and insensitive remarks about the plight of the exhausted tech manager working 24/7 to keep his low-cost programmers at their desks creating value rather than going off to dance around bonfires and fornicate indescriminately or whatever savage things they would do were they not being driven to productivity by the thankless but noble toil of the very men you here deride.”
