(Sung to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies)
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,
A poor College Kid barely kept his family fed,
But then one day he was talking to a recruiter,
He said "They'll pay ya big bucks if ya work on a computer",
COBOL that is ... CRT's ... Workstations;
Well the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer,
The kinfolk said "Jed move away from here",
They said "St. Charles is the place ya oughta be",
So he bought a dark suit and went to University,
Andersen Consulting that is ... 3 weeks ... chip implants;
On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube,
Dangled a golden carrot and sat him at a tube,
They said "Your project's late but we know just what to do,
Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you sixty-two!"
OT that is ... Short term ... Mandatory
The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad,
Some schedules slipped and some managers were mad,
They called another meeting and decided on a fix,
The answer was simple, "We'll work him eighty-six"
Tired that is ... Stressed out ... No social life
Months turned into years and his hair was turning gray,
Jed worked hard while his life slipped away,
Waiting to make partner when he turned sixty-four,
Instead he got a call and they kicked him out the door,
Mutual decision that is ... career change ... new opportunities ...
