There's a saying that is oft repeated (by students) at MIT about how they are treated like mushrooms: Put them in the dark, feed them shit and watch them grow.

  Well, that's how most companies actually work. Substitute mushrooms for employees. And add: when they grow big, cut them off.

  I've never heard this in 7+ years at MIT. Is this from a different time period?
