Do it to the old show of "The Beverly Hillbillies", oil that is!

 

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,

A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed,

But then one day he was talkin to a recruiter,

Who said, "they pay big bucks if ya work on a computer.."

Bet you can't read this without singing it!

Well, the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer.

The kinfolk said "Jed, better move away from here".

They said "California is the place ya outa be",

So he bought some donuts and moved to Silicon Valley...

Intel, that is...Pentium...big amusement park...

On his first day at work, they stuck him in a cube.

Fed him more donuts and sat him at a tube.

They said "your project's late, but we know just what to do.

Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you 52!"

OT, that is...unpaid...mandatory...

The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad.

Schedules started slipping and some managers were mad.

They called another meeting and decided on a fix.

The answer was simple..."We'll work him sixty-six!"

Tired, that is...stressed out...no social life...

Now the months turned to years and his hair was turning grey,

Jed worked very hard while his life slipped away.

Waiting to retire when he turned 64,

Instead he got a call and escorted out the door.

Laid off, that is...de-briefed...unemployed...down-sized...

Now the moral of the story is listen to what you're told.

Companies will use you and discard you when you're old.

So gather up your friends and start your own firm,

Beat the competition, watch the bosses squirm.

Millionaires, that is...Bill Gates...Steve Jobs...

Y'all come back now...ya hear.
