> I admire the OP for having the courage to stand up and speak the truth about the state of this industry I share your admiration to the OP's courage, and while my own experiences are not as extreme as this article, there is a bizarre resonance in it all. > (1) who's going to stick around and fight? and (2) how do we fix it? The one problem I see with this is that we are spoiled by money. "Tech" is a field that produces return on investment, so there's lots of money to burn. In more traditional fields, the economic failures caused by this kind of misbehavior would force out the players who cannot do a minimum of self regulation. Not us I say. It is hard to convince people of these and other structural problems if they are making money hand over fist. The bosses that say "Suck it up, cry baby" don't really have to even pretend to listen to you. Everything is going well after all. If mistreating high skilled people would put their own positions and incomes in jeopardy, they'd at least have to pay attention.
