Yeah, I see your point. I think I was more responding to a separate, but 
related topic, which wasn't really part of the thread, just something 
that's been on my mind lately as I've been interviewing.

I think Terrence's phrase could be altered just a little to something like 
"my employer makes me feel like I'm a kindergartner" or "I feel like my 
employer thinks I'm a kindergartner" and it would be more palatable.
