  That's exactly the sort of place I wouldn't want to be. The best companies have a mission that's far beyond mere survival. That mission is why they stay ahead of their competition.

    Companies that look at their employees as "heads" or "resources" and look at their customers as nothing more than revenue sources inevitably fall behind. When you operate that way your most talented workers don't give their best and many of them eventually leave, and you don't produce the best products (because you simply don't care). When a competitor who does care comes along they eat your lunch, because their more efficient and put out better products.

  Though I'm a wage slave, my goal is to make myself superfluous. When I found a company, that will also be my goal: build and deliver a product, until there is nothing I can or want to add anymore.
