"Big corp: go home at 5 every day. Nice conversations at the coffee machine about the mortgage and the leasecar. Might need to write a line of code somewhere between meetings."
Yep, I've worked at Big Corp too (a few of them) and this is why I wasn't shocked at all when huge numbers of layoffs came from BigCorps recently.
Actually, I was more shocked that it hadn't happened sooner -- especially after 2008 for example.
I worked for a large Mortgage Bank where I only did 6 weeks of work in an entire year. And, that code was shelved also. But, they kept on paying me and that is the important part, of course. 😆
