8 things regarding my previous post
I just found this article online and I must say that I agree with it completely on all counts. It's an article called... A Note To Employers: 8 Things Intelligent People, Geeks and Nerds Need To Work Happy
In brief, here are the 8 things. Click on the above link to get the full explanations.
1. Let them work when they want
Geeks work almost every moment they are awake.
2. Let them work where they want
Geeks prefer to have a couch around to nap on if they are tired.
3. Let them control their lighting
There is nothing more annoying than working in bright crappy fluorescent lighting if you prefer to work in the dark, or vice versa.
4. Let them wear headphones
Geeks are experts in the arts of “focus.”
5. Do not expect them to wear a suit
Geeks find arbitrary activities that lack real and meaningful purpose, a waste of time and energy.
6. Do not make them participate in company events (unless you are sure it is geek-friendly)
Most geeks will not be jumping up and down with joy to attend a company party to celebrate the local football team,
7. Do not hold a lot of arbitrary meetings that could have otherwise been handled through email or IM
This one is important.
8. Do not make them do anything other than work
This one isn’t completely accurate all the time.

I've worn that t-shirt so many times. Clearly you haven't paid attention to me. I see what I am...chopped liver. That's fine.
Geeks also have functioning RSS feeds, so get yours fixed!
