izzap if you think you should keep mum about being treated unfair at work then i am sorry to say you are better off being a programmer. For all the amount of effort and dedication you give to be a programmer you need to fight for your right and speak for injustice, which apparently you seem to have gave up since you never fought back of the fear of losing the grip in the job you are in.

to the blogger no matter where you are from, you're an engineer so don't sell cheap. good luck for your job search.
