You're NOT a poor, helpless worker being exploited by a ruthless 19th century steel-magnate with a monocle and a top-hat, you're a member of the most empowered generation of the most empowered professional class in the history of mankind, full stop.
If you somehow feel you're in a situation that needs fixing, then, especially as HN reader, you know exactly what to do.
Indeed, I do, and I am doing it. Others, however, need the guidance of the sentiments we express here. It was for them, and for our industry, that I expressed this thought. If you follow michaelochurch, he's like the Angry Patrick McKenzie. He also has a flare for the dramatic. But the purpose is to raise the visibility of ideas, and to express agreement and disagreement. I have a similar track. I would like so see our industry move in the direction of entrepreneurship/leadership and away from servitude. Again with the hyperbole, but helps the message hit home. ;)
