I generally read the Daily WTF just about every day… but never have I empathized with a story so much as I have with this post. (Not so much the ending bit… but the beginning, totally. And with all of those who chimed in with comments saying, “hey, me too!”)

I just can’t believe that it’s cost-effective to hire bright, motivated young college grads from good schools, all eager to contribute and to prove themselves, and pay them a competitive IT wage… and then let them (no, make them) sit around utterly bored with nothing to do. And yet I know way too many people in that situation right now.
