Advice to Management

This is an IT shop; don't run it like a factory floor.

Stop being a cheap, penny-pinching company.

You want to be a Google-like company but don't offer any Google benefits.

Hire more experienced professionals instead of hiring so many college grads.

Spend some money on employees!
