I was being
interviewed for my second high tech job. I liked the interviewer a
lot, and he seemed to like me. He asked when I would be able to
start, if I took the job. Always a question you like to hear! I said
I'd need to give my present employer two weeks' notice. I added that
I felt a little bad about leaving them: they had put good resources
into training me.
My interviewer
looked a little worried, in a paternal sort of way. He was one of the
first wave of hotshot Indian tech immigrants, the people who drove so
much of the first generation of high tech development and innovation.
“Listen, Dale,” he said, “that company, any company? If ever it
is in their interests” –
He held up his hand
as if he was dangling something from his fingers, and then suddenly
opened it wide. – “They will drop you like that.”
