(Not OP but) I know it’s an unreasonable and probably inappropriate comparison, but I’m also old enough to have watched the demographics of professional computer programming shift from mostly white guys managing mostly other white guys to mostly white guys managing mostly brown people. I really don’t think it’s my imagination that at least some of the mostly white guys doing the managing have adopted more and more of a plantation-driver mentality.
- giggles_giggles 7y agoThis IS an unreasonable and inappropriate comparison. Anecdotally I've been overworked by a diverse group of shitty bosses of a variety of races, nationalities, and genders over the years. Nobody has a monopoly on shitty management. Singling out white men as uniquely shitty managers and then slapping on "plantation driver" is super racist!
- commandlinefan 7y agoActually I meant I agreed that OP's comparison was (somewhat) unreasonable and inappropriate.
- thrwaway69 7y agoHN does have diverse commenters. In a single day, I managed to see 5 distinct comparison that I wouldn't have anywhere else. Note - this is only just an observation.
