> A lot of the HR analyses I read on HN are coming from an extremely privileged position and are very US-centric. What you experience in the very few tech hubs in USA is absolutely not what you'd experience literally everywhere else in the world. This is an observable fact if you speak with a lot of non-US contractors. But it's also a fact that's usually not welcome on HN. I’ve worked internationally and many of the best managers I’ve worked with are from smaller European countries. I think you’re just projecting your own bad experiences on to the rest of the world. Also, HN and Internet forums where people go to vent anonymously are not good barometers for how managers perform. You’re collecting negative anecdotes that confirm your bias.
