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 talking to a recruiter, Who said, "they pay big bucks if ya work on a computer..." (Windows, that is...PC's...Workstations...)

Well, the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer. The kinfolk said "Jed, move away from here." They said "California is the place you oughta be," So he bought some donuts and moved to Silicon Valley... (Intel, that is...Pentium...bis amusement park...)

At 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...)

Months turn to years and his hair was turning grey. Jed worked very hard while his life slipped away. Instead he got a call and escorted out the door. (Laid-off, that is...de-briefed...unemployed...)

Now the moral of the story is listen what you're told, Companies will use you and discard you when you're old. So gather up your friends and start up your own firm, Beat the competition, and watch the bosses squirm. (millionaires, that is...Bill Gates...Steve Jobs...)

Ya'll come back now...ya hear'
