- MichaelZuo 4y agoWell 'human apathy' can be logged at the least so that finger pointing games don't happen.
- kjs3 4y agoLet me guess...you've never worked at a large, bureaucratic organization.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoI have. What makes you think otherwise?
- fragmede 4y agoThen you're extremely lucky to have worked in a huge org where logging of apathy managed to actually avoid finger pointing games.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIt seems like there may be some differences in how we understand the meaning of 'logging', 'apathy', and 'finger pointing games'. I am making some assumptions when discussing this topic, namely: 1. The CEO and executive leadership are actually competent, have at least average middle aged adult levels of patience, and don't have their daggers out for each other. 2. There exist more than one method of communication between each layer in the hierarchy. 3. The organization is engaged in normal business, not in the middle of an M&A deal, outside investigation, or bankruptcy proceedings.
- kjs3 4y agoThose are "assume a spherical cow" levels of bad assumptions. That's why we all assume you've never been there before.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIt's considered rude when someone attempts to speak for the entire reader-base on HN for a topic that obviously attracts a wide range of views. In reality, most large organizations do have at least a semi-competent leadership team most of the time. Unlike what is commonly supposed by junior level staff expressing their frustrations.
- kjs3 4y ago2 people constitutes "we", and there's at least one person other than me that has commented on you lack of awareness. So perhaps quit lecturing others on what is 'rude' when in reality you just don't like people telling you you aren't as insightful as your smug attitude conveys. A state which is regrettably common for junior level staff.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoI don't usually try to be nice with semi-trolling replies but since this doesn't seem like a troll account I will put in an effort. Everyone on HN can read the comment chain and see where you joined in, and who said what... so the claims are difficult to take seriously. Even if you focused on my alleged lack of qualifications to comment it would have not been as self-discrediting. Though I don't get riled up by oblique insults, that might not be the case for others, especially for a topic that might be linked to negative emotions in the reader-base. My sentence on 'junior level staff' wasn't directed towards you, it was a reflection on why it can be difficult to see the grand scheme of things when the environment might restrict that.
