Not surprising. People are tired of working long, useless hours for nothing other than to make someone else rich. Workers haven't seen meaningful pay increases in a long, long time. Most haven't seen a vacation in years. No wonder they're just tired of the whole thing.
- convolvatron 10y agoI think the 'useless' part hasn't been brought up enough on this thread. Every place I work the build is broken, the dependencies are broken, and the tests are a joke. Which means that 10 hours of coding can turn into weeks of trying to get something committed. When you say 'let me fix the build', its always so far down on the list they refuse to deal with it. We are already so late as it is. And so everyone keeps burning hours struggling with the build, and no one is happy. Or a planning process that has me working on a deliverable for a month only to find out that we "aren't doing it that way anymore". Or such a complete lack of any thought testing, which means that when I finally get through implementing your feature on your horrific codebase, there isn't any sane way to get it into production. You pay me well - I'm not taking any vacation - are you going to exploit me properly or let me fuss in the corner and eventually leave because you can't come to grips with your own structural issues.
