Explaining WTF Work to Non-Programmers



  •  BOOM! Page 2!



  • Spammer:

    You turn up at work, 9am monday. They tell you to wait. Ditto, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Note, you cannot leave even though there is no work. On Wednesday you lose half your salary for the week (which you haven't got yet, because youonly started on Monday) for reading person email.

    Friday  4.30pm - you are given a seed and a drain pipe. You have to plant the seed, grow the tree, cut down the tree, make paper, hand write all the spam onto the paper and "fill the pipe with spam". This must increase sales 4000% by 5pm or you half to stay the weekend and be told how it's all your fault and how a bad workman blames his tools.
