Tuesday 14 December 2010
?
                           What would you work on if
                             you had the choice?

Tuesday 14 December 2010
In a company:
                           Little influence on what you end up working on
                           (whatever got through sales funnel)

                           Sometimes not satisfied w/ type of work




Tuesday 14 December 2010
Moral/ethical disagreement




Tuesday 14 December 2010

                           Company should be profitable...


Tuesday 14 December 2010
People tell me:
                 “Sometimes you have to do
                things you don’t really like!”



Tuesday 14 December 2010
“You can only work for people you like.”
