"We take to the air on the leathery wings of a bat." Really, you just can't top that.

I should probably post something on the leave alone / zap thing -- it's a great point. It's been a long time since I've read 1 min mgr. On a related note, Peopleware points out that the worst thing you can do to an employee is to provide no feedback (or, as la/z implies, to lurk around until you have an opportunity to provide negative feedback.)

Okay .... so much for wanting to work there ....

I love the CTO ad---it says the candidate needs experience in the industry, but it doesn't tell you what industry it is!

Excellent list.

Excellent list.
