Not sure but everyone here believes this[^] is the primary reason behind his disappearance.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Movie Quote Of The Day
On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?
Which movie?

Don't put me in the dark boss - I'm scared of the dark.
|
|
|
|

Although technically it was...
Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.

Walk a mile in my shoes.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

Blade Runner 2
It's not actually a quote from the film, it's what Ridley Scott is planning to say after its release
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Nothing to do with the title, but with the text on the link you've put.

Sometime back, the demand was so much short of supply that there were rumors that one of the big companies had unofficially stated "Trespassers will be recruited".

My office computer is not mine: it is company's ownership. So I just don't give a flock, and even if I have a support/administration background I don't hesitate to call for support and wash my hands of it.
We have old, cheap and painfully slow computers, less licenses than software and many other issues and we all are invariably ignored. Then may them eat their own medicine.
I have reaped some to-be-shipped-but-will-never-be (for reliability issues) PCs to increase my disk space (which was a meager 80GB) and RAM (I had 1 GB. With VS2008 it is Hell. Now I have 2 whole GB!). Some day I'll switch entirely to the other PC which has a Pentium G, whuile I'm stuck with a Pentium E.
Yes, I know we are in 2015.

It sounds like you are stuck with a typewriter in the dark ages. I would refuse to work with something that old, for productivity reasons.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

I would do that too but then I'd lose my job - the company is loyal to its employees but can't even remotely understand the word "investment".
We deploy entirely new machines without prototypes first "becuse they cost" (way less than 3 months to the customer site fixing mechanical/electrical/software design flaws, but who cares?).
A company where each expense over 30 € must pass through the CEO herself, and has more than 1000 employees... You understand the problem.
At least they hire people instead of using temps and they provide an average wage, but noever do more than the bare legal minimum (which is better than the other Italian companies, that normally circumvent/break the law).

I'll bet your customers love your software, because it runs extremely fast on their machines (most of which are probably the same specs as yours).

The software actually runs fast, it is all native code especially crafted for speed since it runs on almost real time systems - we inspect and decide wether they are contaminated or not up to 25 products/second, and the limit is mainly physical.
Also the pc shipped to customers are way faster than ours, now we're shipping i5 for example. Their cost is sinked in the machinery price so it is not a problem. But us employees... we're slaves. Treated at the bare decency minimum but slaves.
The service employees often have to travel thousands of kilometers and stay abroad for weeks, nevertheless there is no such thing as a company Credit/Debit card - the emplyees must anticipate the expenses from their own accounts and then the company decides what to refund and what not (a colleague of mine got appendicitis when he was in Australia and the company didn't refund 50€ of bandages, even if he was ill-on-job).
Also several colleagues report that at the end of the year they are on 2-300 € short each...

You're getting out of bed every day to be treated like that?
Being unemployed and broke is preferable, and it leaves you free to pursue better options.
