8. hmm, well, a bit behind the curve there. I think it was 20 years ago that I figured out corporate IT (or any job in any big company, to be honest). The only way it made ANY sense was

1. it is NOT about getting the job done
2. it is NOT about making money
3. it IS about "minion herding" and monkey status games

"startups" in contrast just want to work you to death to try to get rich quick and avoid being organised.
