As an employee of Oracle that sells Sun stuff, it really isn't all that bad :)

But we are all lol'ing at the parallels here. A number of our colleagues went to work for Dyn recently, too haha...

> isn't all that bad

So, how would you characterize it? Somewhat bad? Doesn't it bother you to work somewhere so universally reviled?

[zzzzzzzzzman]

I would say that we all have become numb to the negative aspects of this job, which as you can imagine, usually include:

1) (rightfully) angry customers 2) painfully arbitrary and illogical corporate procedures 3) any sort of purpose or mission that our products fulfill

Speaking for myself, I think it's very important to realize that this job is one of the best in town, is still decently well paid, and allows you the down time required to work on "real" projects.

The ones who were capable of leaving have left. The rest of us are waiting.

How do they feel about this? Are they laughing like you are?

They are laughing yes, I don't want to speak for everyone at Dyn, but the people I know are laughing at how hard it is to escape Big Red!
