What could possibly make you say that? I am the author, and an engineer. I pay my engineers 1% salaries and give them lots of toys. They get autonomy and purpose in their work. What more could you want?
- marenkay 3y agoThe toys thing is exactly that. It is highly disrespectful and demeaning. And you keep on returning to this as if it was good when in reality it is signalling how low you actually value engineers. Maybe you just do not see it? IMHO respect for an engineer would be supporting and growing their specific skill set and character. Not toys.
- derekja 3y agoHmm, as an engineer good toys are huge. It shows respect for my time to buy good equipment. Is it calling them toys you object to? I guess I also phrase things as "let's play with this..." So toys seems a good colloquial way of referring to things.
