This is almost as insulting as I can recall when I attended an entrepreneur convention in S.D. in which you had project managers/etc trying to tell enginerds to work for them for free or less than minimum wage, saying the could outsource the work overseas.
Some folks contacted me and tried to tell me “work for a free at a startup and gain experience”. My response was “I have the experience, you don’t….You need me more than I need you. Try again.”
I hate firms that try to exploit other people like this…Really shitty. As much as I make jokes about lawyers, there’s something to be said with someone that commited to that higher education and knowledge… Meanwhile, you got people in government that work less than a full weeks of work and retire with a generous pension. Go figure.
