Same feeling. What a nausea.

Once I moonlighted webdev for a young thugish team of car dealers and the boss would pay me according to my advancing on the "project". But the "project" was never clearly defined.

I see it as a way to assert dominance in a soft but disgusting way. If key-words like "project" or "culture" were precisely defined one would have ground to assess his condition : payment on the project, respect of the culture (like work conditions).

The boss presents himself not as a master but a minister : "Project" is a devine word that he is to interpret. We're a community. I'm just our pastor. And a cool one.
