Software employment

While chatting on #linux-india (irc.freenode.net), I came upon one of the participant's blog entry about Infosys campus. Since a few of my friends works there, I have a bit of idea how the Thing works. The infosys is nice looking so that the animals can stay inside, work and die there content without wanting to see the outside world. That is the way most sweatshops in IT work and that is why this industry has such a high bun out rate

At this point, Niyam Bhushan came up with an interesting definition.

Software employment
slavery for the educated. so, give them a cosmetically nice looking pig-sty, an iron-clad contract that favors the master, pay them a small pittance per month to FOREVER own their SWEATWARE, and then patent and license it to customers for a killing. meantime, boot out the slave, unless he/she has more sweat to offer
I guess till the time you become an independent consultant, this definition holds true. Just a random observation.

    The only problem is that only a few people realise before they actually take the plunge. And once they do, it's already too late for them.

    Clear article overall. I was looking over this earlier to get some general context and
    it makes sense. The way it’s laid out works well for reference.

    Nothing promotional here, just a clear explanation. Appreciate the time put into this for anyone looking things up.

    Baishampayan, my theory is - you live only once and any job which sucks the life out of you is really not worth it. What many people fail to realize is that once a door closes, many other open.

    Bharat - Thanks.
