Could this have anything to do with why we've yet to see our profession be fixed in nearly a year?:
Bob Slydell (SOE Management Consultant #1): "If you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?"
Peter (developer): "Yeah."
Bob Slydell: "Great."
Peter: "Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door--that waythe bosscan't see me, heh--after that I sorta space out for an hour."
Bob Porter (SOE Management Consultant #2): "Da-uh? Space out?"
Peter: "Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."
Peter (developer): "Yeah."

Hey Randonb, I reckon exhibit b is pretty close to what the correspondents are hearing from those developers, LOL.
At least we can still laugh at this stuff. I guess that's a good sign.
P.S. Glad to see so many people got the Office Space reference. Don't feel too bad if you didn't - just go out and rent the movie.
