I think the head honchos in my place must be aware of how bad it is here - as they are currently recruiting graduates - simply for the fact that;

They have no idea how a company should be run,so will think this place is 'great'

They have no idea whats its like to produce quality code that actually needs to work in the 'real' world- so will fit in well with the other developers that currently sit at desks here

They have no idea what project management is, so they will think that someone telling them that each and every project has been delayed is normal

They also- are probably keen to be seen to be hardworking-heads-down kind of people - so again, they will think an office where no-one talks to each other or dares have some sort of 'fun' at work- is great.

O - and they expect to paid Jack Shit for their effort.

I could go on about the office itself (crap wages/lack of aircon- always too hot in summer/cold in winter) and tons more. Instead - I will take that job offer (with a gargantuan payrise)and get as far away from here as possible.

The only benefit they will get- is a toaster in the kitchen (seriously that is the only benefit - most offices won't allow them because of H&S shite)
