It's much the same with the permanent perl market. Companies complain they
can't find staff and Perlfolk complain that the jobs don't pay well
enough. If companies will offer tuppence a week and demand a CTO, they
aren't going to be very satisfied. In fact, I refuse to work for a company
like that -- I've developed a zero tolerance attitude for that sort of
bullshit. I've had a spate of crap jobs recently and the next person to
make my job frustrating will be first up against the wall when I flip and
start exfenestrating people from the fifth floor^W6W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^Wcome
the glorious revolution.
