Gasp. I've read about horror stories like this. It worries me as
perhaps a prospective employee of such an institution that I should
have to conform to these horrors. In all seriousness though, it this
really the norm out in the wild? Are there ways to detect such
institutions before applying? I'd guess to detect them you'd either
have to be a talented programmer and not worry about such things, or
look into different fields of work.

Thanks for both your comments. Interesting (worrying) reading. :-)
