> I wouldn’t want to work for a company that paid me the same as everyone else and fired based on seniority.

Are you insinuating that pay and layoffs are done based on merit today? Because that’s totally not my experience after a couple of decades in the industry. And I’m leaving myself out of the sample.

Not sure if you ever attended a meeting with just directors and above. If you do you will hear only one word used for engineers: “Resource”.

Also great software, made by the megacorps, has to do as much with the engineers as McDonald’s burger have to do with the person flipping the patties.

It’s just lies we tell to ourselves.
