You probably should get out of the HN bubble more often, a badly organized workplace is the norm not the exception.
(I hope it doesn't come as condescending since it's not my intention)
- agumonkey 6y agoIt seriously came as condescending since I'm quite removed from HN bubble. At least you warned me, thanks. My comment is not about the norm but about the nature of the work structure. See I've mostly been working in average (non IT) places. I can understand average salesman and clerks having troubles organizing, dealing with computer issues, bad software, and cracking under managers because they don't have Masters degrees in abstract algebra applied to relational databases. So I assumed that in an IT company the skills would influence the structure. I guess it boils down to low level politics as usual.
- jmnicolas 6y agoSorry English isn't my mother tongue, so I didn't see a way to make it short and not condescending hence the warning. May I interest you in one of my earlier comment to show you how dysfunctional a company can be (to put things in perspective : my boss was a software engineer before becoming the boss, our company has something like 25 millions € per year and the certificate should cost a few hundred euros) : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24220464 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24220464 Dysfunctional indeed.
