The biggest career advice you can take: it never gets better, there is no good fight, and you should flee to save yourself.
I expect the parent post [edit: iamleppert] was blameless, but that won't save you in most companies. I dream of a company that actually gives a crap about the people writing their code, but HR / Management will always back the a??hole to preserve the company. Maybe instead of hiring widget managers they would find people who have "shipped" creative endeavors (TV Shows, plays, etc.). Don't know if it would work, but it cannot be worse.

- traek 10y agoI think the unwritten qualification is "If it's a bad environment". "If it's a bad environment -- it never gets better, there is no good fight, and you should flee to save yourself." It's very possible to find places that are good to work at. It's highly unlikely for a shitty environment to get significantly better.
- protomyth 10y agoYes. you are correct. Since I was replying to someone who was in a bad environment, I was referring to that case. > It's very possible to find places that are good to work at. It's highly unlikely for a shitty environment to get significantly better. Yep.
- umanwizard 10y agoOh, okay. I misunderstood you. I thought you were just being cynical about work in general.
