Sung to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies"

Come and listen to the story 'bout a man named Jed, 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". Coding that is . . . CRT's . . . Microstation

Well, the first thing ya know ol Jed's an Engineer, the kinfolk said, "Jed move away from here," They said "Dallas, Texas, is the place ya oughta be," So he drove until he felt the heat and humidity, Summer that is . . . no shade . . . even your toenails sweat

On the first day at work they stuck him in a cube, Fed him a donut 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 fifty-two!" Overtime that is . . . Unpaid . . . Mandatory

The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad, Some schedules got slipped and the boss was gettin mad, They called another meeting and decided on a fix, The answer was simple, "We'll work him fifty-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 retire when he turned sixty-four, Instead he got called in and escorted out the door! Laid-off . . . Downsized . . . Unemployed

Ya'll come back as a contractor now, Ya hear?
