Disclaimer: throwaway account. I have a great job that pays well, love my colleagues, etc. But I feel like my management hates or at the very least ignores my existence. My boss doesn’t understand technology: every time I do something that saves others time or money I get torn a new asshole about how nobody asked for it or how they don’t understand how it works. Consequently I find myself just doing the bare minimum they ask for, which is demoralIzing because I know I could do so much more. I’d love to do a startup or another job, but I need a guaranteed paycheck for my family. I don’t know. I feel like Bilbo Baggins: too little butter scraped over too much bread.
