Being asked to summarize your recent work is "a living hell"?
Have you ever done manual labor for a living? Or worked a service job? Or taken care of a relative who needs round-the-clock care?
Would you really characterize as "summarize the last few months of coding at my software engineering job" as a living hell as compared to those things?
- croes 4y agoThings like this are always context sensitive or it becomes a race to the bottom where only the people in the worst condition have the right to complain. You think manual labor is hard, try living in a Ukraine war zone, you think a warzone is bad, try living as a forced prostitute etc. And according to Dante there are seven circles of hell and if someone t plunges your future into uncertainty it's a valid kind of hell, just not the worst kind.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoHave my boss' boss' boss' boss summarize what his teams are up to. Don't call everybody in and glare at them in a small room over the course of weeks like in "Office Space" I have enough perspective, savings, and self confidence that there's nothing a little prick manager can do at a job that will ruin MY life. But there are a lot of honest, hard-working people out there who just want to do their best and make enough to keep on top of their $7500 mortgage payments and don't need someone putting a boot on their neck
