You should title this essay "An ode to myself".

Hi Dov,
Interesting that you should say so. As an employer, I tend to agree with everything that Shlomi says. Good employees are the main asset in IT and they need to be treated with the care and respect that you would treat any other key asset. Most employers I know understand this. On the other hand, some employees overcommit themselves and are not comfortable talking to their employers about their personal needs for rest and time off. That is, IT slavery is mainly, but not entirely, the employers' fault. There is a lot of macho work ethic among some of the younger more ambitious IT employees that goes beyond what the employer actually demands. It's not surprising that employers exploit this whenever possible.

Or, in other words, employees are not out to make cater to your every
need, they are in the money making business. If you don't like or
appreciate the reality, become an employee and set different standards.
