Consulting firms continue to temp us with jobs that pretend to promise rewarding careers but are in fact illusions. They are really looking for semi-skilled workers who will continue to patch poorly-written legacy code in order to keep the wheels of commerce turning. Once you are on-boarded with your Windows laptop and company e-mail account, having an opinion is will be viewed by your peers and managers as an occupational hazard. Mediocrity will be rewarded and excellence will be punished. Innovation will be out of the question. The people who will survive in such positions are there because they conceded their autonomy and learned to suppress their natural creativity.<div><br></div><div>No disrespect intended to John.
