If the senior lead dev at my company would be a little more workplace invested.
What I mean by this is: it's hard to say to the higher-ups "I would really like a Resharper license or a chair that isn't broken" when you're the most junior person, and your seniors aren't saying the same.
- themodelplumber 6y agoIs it one of those "austerity porn" work environments? If so, I worked at a company like that once. Such a cringe. The office furnishings were from government auctions 20+ years prior. Worst chair ever. Also, ants fell on my desk from the ceiling all day, so my seniors thought they'd buy me ant bait which I could place anywhere I wanted. After all that, "why is turnover so bad," they wondered...
