Re: When Tandy computers
I'm surprised that Tandy were any better. I've worked for a number of American companies as an employee and as a contractor. The description and language could have been of any one of those companies. One of them reduced an exec to apoplexy because the Brits and the French kept quoting the Working Time Directive and we Europeans refused to accept the pay cut that our American colleagues were forced to accept.
Even funnier was when some American idiot worked out that France and the UK was staffed mostly by contractors, so all contractors were told to take a pay cut or leave. We all agreed to leave, plenty more jobs available. Then the management had to crawl back and ask us not to go because they suddenly realised that none of the contracts were going to be completed that year.
I'm sure many people have worked out which American company that was by now.
