I've never had a job where we weren't constantly under tight (really, completely unreasonable) deadlines, so to me Easter Eggs always felt like a "fuck you losers" from developers at big, commercial software companies to developers at small, consulting software companies.

My guess would be the reason small/new shops have deadlines like that is because they're more likely to have less experienced managers. If it bothers you that much perhaps you should work at a larger company where the managers understand nine women can't make a baby in one month.

I wouldn't take it personally, it's more likely to be a bit of fun.
