Fun piece. "The rapacious new corporate ethic was summarized by two phrases: “churn ‘em and burn ‘em” (a term that described Microsoft’s habit of hiring young programmers fresh out of school and working them 70 hours a week until they dropped, and then firing them and hiring more)" Reminded me of the manager I encountered fresh out of college who sincerely believed that staying at the workplace from 8 am to 10 pm is a minimum requirement to build character. And as far as I know, IT firms continue to live by this ethic. Are there any exceptions out there? Sruthi
