Heck, I might just have been lucky... I work at a small software company
with a fairly enlightened upper management that fully understands what
it takes for us grunts to do the work we do, because they've been down
here in the trenches with us as well, and often come down and do useful
work as well.

This is almost all we've got to hold onto.  Pay's miserable, bandwidth
is ridiculously low (the whole country has less bandwidth than a typical
medium-sized hosting center owned by Exodus in their heyday; this is not
an exaggeration), and protectionist telco/government practices are
stifling further growth in this industry.  With this kind of s--t flying
in our faces management can't afford to have the hubris of the PHB's you
guys have had to put up with.
