- usrnm 5mo agoA company is a company. For some weird reason techies used to think that they were special, but that time came to an end
- SV_BubbleTime 5mo agoI mean… that’s kind of the goal really. If you are a leader, you want the people under you to go along with your priorities. That’s a feature, not irony. I think another way to get to the same effect is to say “A company needs good leaders”.
- gofreddygo 5mo agoNot ironic at all. VP didn't become VP by doing great technical work. They made the VP before them look nice.
- refulgentis 5mo agoAt the end of the day, they find a way to get rid of you if you don’t, even if the VP would endorse your efforts. I understand what you’re saying and hope you understand why it happens, it took me years, and pain.
