An insight into IT

A lot of folks from my parent's generation don't really understand how things work in IT sector and why so many of us seem to be married to our work even when we claim we dont want to be.The well meaning but useless advice that they shell out ranges from "the company cant demand you work so late.Its not legal" to "tell your boss to go hang himself".A lot of my friends and acquaintances often lament that there is no way to explain to their parents that we folks in IT can't just stop working because its 6:00 p.m. and that just telling the manager to "goanboylered"(go and boil your head) will only result in getting one's own head bitten off.So here is a pictorial representation of how things work for us.And hope this helps all parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents/well meaning relatives understand how things work in our workplaces.I suspect that this is true not just of IT but almost every field.Just change the roles.
Note:This is not my creation.It is merely a heartfelt forwarded mail from a colleague.I can only applaud the creativity of the person who came up with this.

The scene depicts a weekly status meeting.
