The picture this paints of a career in software engineering is utterly unrecognizable to me, someone who has worked in this industry for well over a decade at this point. I can't tell how much of this is pertains to whatever specific situation the author finds himself in vs. how much of it relates to the author's worldview. If I treated team members like this author describes being treated, they would leave in an instant for any of the myriad of companies hungry for engineers that will not treat them like crap.
