Yes, and the first thing that came to my mind was this is a modern day "Slave" ship. I am a long time programmer/computer engineer. A person doesn't need to "work" on a ship or even an office building. I mean the only thing a programmer needs is a computer and an internet connection. It use to be the ultimate in being able to work from home, but as the Indians and Chinese have found out, there are more of them then there are of us in the USA. As a Manager, I had to out-source jobs to contingent companies all the time to increase my teams productivity as well as controlling costs, but when it is all said and done in order to make the big bucks, you need more than just a cheap cost model for writing code. I wonder if hookers and beer are available on the ship? ya, I just came across this company from an accounting class book.

So, if I get paid enough is OK for someone to, say, whip me while im working? I'm of course not comparing whipping to a boat, but the whole idea, and worst they way they sold their services, makes you sick, regardless if they make 3 times what they make in India... @anon: it’s very sad that the CEO gave you the level of compensation as an excuse for that kind of treatment.

I met the CEO years ago and he said they paid the Indian workers something like 3x what they would make in India, so it sounds like they were (or would have been) compensated for living on a ship.

You are so much worthy than that; do not let others make money by taking your life away!"<br /> And to the owners of that horrendous idea: "Stuff IT!"<br /> I was going to make a joke, but I feel so sick about that SeaCode company that I won’t.
