Being treated poorly? Ha. Demand for our expertise has, as far as I can tell, always outstripped supply. Compared to most sectors, we are treated like royalty.

Funny war stories though, of course I have some.
One of the owners of the company I'm working for used to put his agreements with customers and other 3rd party contacts for the week or the month in his agenda for the last day of said week or month.
Every week, every single week, on Friday afternoon at 4:55pm he'd call: "Ah, good thing you're still at the office. Hey, I promised <contact> that we'd have <complicated thing> done by the end of this week. Can you take care of it? You're awesome, thanks! Have a great week end"
(The company has grown quite a bit, and got more organized, so this no longer happens)
- AndyNemmity 11y agoThe all too common, end of week, end of Friday I need x y and z done immediately, and have a great weekend. So infuriating.
- wobbleblob 11y agoMore funny than infuriating. Unless there's an actual production issue, at weekend o' clock everyone goes home.
