Siren Call of the TechGods


"You'll have an 80 hour workweek and no pay."   That's the lure of the TechGods.  But you better be at their beckon call.  An e-commerce CEO canned 90% of his staff for missing an online meeting.  Most of the "staff" were volunteers with a "high potential for full time paid conversion in 2025."
