I love that I work somewhere with no incompetent people (or rarely) as it makes working a lot more fun. You spend most of the day solving real problems.

- baz00 3y agoI had a couple of jobs like that. I looked back and worked out they weren't real problems. They were problems invented to sell solutions for that made money. Supremely productive but alas pointless too. I eventually developed a philosophy of passive capitalist nihilism. I can't change anything meaningful so I will use the accumulation of capital as a coping mechanism to deal with that.
- quickthrower2 3y agoThere are no “real” problems if you have water food and shelter and your family and friends are safe etc. Everything is consumerist driven. Driven by desires. But my current job they are building something worthwhile and I believe a lot of companies are. But the FAANGs might feel less like that. But let’s say you work for Splunk or Shopify or a government portal or writing drone software or whatever I think it is useful.

- ljf 3y agoThat is how I feel in my current team/department - but I always worry that if you don't know who the incompetent person on a team is...
- quickthrower2 3y agoThat is why I hanker and breed plenty of imposter syndrome :-)
