No joke. Where are the teenagers on HN? This place seems to be full of angst-ridden middle-aged people who decry the lack of backbone and work ethic of the modern man - who cannot imagine not working because they’ve finally hit the peak of their career and are doing so well in middle management!! I mean, I just got a damn raise for shipping that product! I worked hard and so should you god damn it!
- UncleOxidant 5y agoThose middle management jobs tend to be the first to go in a downturn.
- logicslave 5y agoAlternative view: people worked hard and are now making 400-600k in middle management and are 5-8 years from retirement.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoWhen will we retire this trope? People decrying these hypothetical middle aged cynics and their puritan work ethic seem to outnumber people actually promoting a puritan work ethic 10:1. Except maybe some deep down comment threads in an article about programming side projects turned business ventures HN does not really favor people working a lot.
