Quotes from The Shawshank Redemption modified for I T Industry.

These are some Memorable quotes from The Shawshank Redemption modified (applicable) for the I T Industry.
  • Orientation for New joinees (especially freshers): Put your trust in the management your ass belongs to your manager.

  • One coder( moving into management) to another: Get busy livin’ or get busy coding.

  • Assigning/Blaming bugs/issues in your code onto others is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

  • One employee after completing few years in the industry, to a fresher: On the outside (in the college etc),I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come into the I T industry to be a crook (Fake status reports, fake sick leaves, misuse internet connections for torrents, produce fake bills etc).

  • One senior employee to a junior searching for a “better” job esp during recession: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope(Finding a better job) is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

  • Salvation lies within (self-code/design review, testing one’s code).

  • Employee, after spending more than 10-years in the company to new joinees, These cubicles(walls) are funny. First you hate ‘em, then you get used to ‘em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized.

  • One coder: Hows’ life? Second coder: Same old shit, different day
