"Engineers are just numbers on a sheet, to be exploited, chewed and cast aside when they eventually burnout."
This is exactly how Epic the Electronic Medical Record company operates, but on new college grads instead of Engineers.
- sheepscreek 2y agoMost of the industry and most series C/D startups are like that. It’s a sad state boys and girls. Once you’ve been here long enough, disillusionment sets in. Corporate greed, (em)powered by shareholder greed, takes top priority.
- ornornor 2y agoWhat do you do then? I’ve been out of the work rat race for over 3 years now, but I’ll have to go back within a year… and I’m dreading it. It’s my most valuable skill set, I just want to throw up when I see what the industry has become and I don’t know how to deal with it.
- jrockway 1y agoI'm always a little embarrassed when I go to the doctor and tell them I'm a software engineer. I know your EMR system is terrible but if I had done it it would have been better. Sorry :( (My primary care doctor's office was venture-funded at one point and they actually have a great system. But all my specialists are on MyChart and everything there is always a disaster. Doesn't even have a "preferred name" field, so it has to be noted on my records on a case by case basis and it's ... inconsistent.)
