I am neither a principle engineer at a big "N" company, nor am I a high frequency trader, but I kind of hope I am not an "IT peon" either.

- maxxxxx 8y agoMost likely you are from the view of your CEO.
- markbnj 8y agoMost definitely not :).
- Avshalom 8y agoI mean I don't know your situation but "I kind of hope I am not an "IT peon" either" is exactly how people who do have bargaining power end up peons to people with more power and/or information.
- markbnj 8y agoMy sarcasm probably wasn't clear, but I am merely mocking the author's trichotomy.
- Avshalom 8y ago... implying that it is so fundamentally unsound that simply disagreeing with it counts as mockery. but again whatever evidence you may have in your individual situation: the belief that "I'm getting a good deal" is exactly how a mark gets conned.
- markbnj 8y agoOf course it's fundamentally unsound. It's not even a reasonable abstraction for reality.
