work environment

In my whole career as a computer programmer I have never worked in
the company that cared less for the work environment of their
developers, or had a client who cared less, then the place I have
been working at for over a year. For anybody who knows what are the
consulting rates today (not low, I assure you) you'd expect that they
give you a good place to sit and actually do your work, or that they
actually get interested in what you are doing, no such luck.
