Do You Like Your Job?

G-shock asks: "I've worked for the government (NASA), large public companies, and small startups as a software engineer. They all have something in common. It seems like management at this company is just winging it. I find myself putting all my energy, both mental and emotional, into a project only to be disappointed by decisions made by management. I really feel like management at my current employer is disconnected from what is actually going on. They manage a project, but not the people. They also seem to lack any real vision. Direction is constantly changing and proper time is not given to engineer these changes correctly. This leads to mandated quick and dirty solutions that end up being maintained with great pain for long periods of time. All this leads to me feeling cynical about the work I'm doing. What I want to know is, how can I feel good about the work I'm doing if I don't have confidence in my management? How many of you are happy with your management? Why? Why not? What can I do about this? Thanks in advance for your insight." Considering that this seems to be a common problem in technology companies, and seeing as we have been producing software for basically half a century, do you think that managing software projects is a different beast than the management of anything else? How many of you have had this problem in your career and what did you do to adjust?

    I'm sorry but the thought of a garbage man reading /., although not impossible is a comical paradox.

    In other words, its funny moderators and on topic.

    I like that insult. It is as ridiculous as it is venomous.

    Are times tough? find each day at work you age another year? Do you really hate mondays?

    My friends, sex is the answer. I find when having tons and tons of sex nothing really seems to matter:)
    Is your girlfriend not at work? Have sex with the boss! or a co-worker!
    Having a bad day? fuck something!
    Just speaking from my heart guys... as a last resort you can pay for sex, or masturbate quietly in the bathroom.

  6. Life as a dickslurper! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    My job is sucking dick. I'm a "little pony boy" they call me.

    My masters keep me naked and chained up in the basement all day, which is okay except when they leave me hanging by my feet or chained stretched out on the floor, but every night Jon comes down and treats me to his big, juicy dick! It's fun! Kneeling, sucking, wearing handcuffs and leg irons, having cum blasted all over my face five, sometimes six, times a night... pure pleasure! If I'm a really good little boy, Jon will invite his friends Rob, Jeff, Michael and Timothy over and they all blow in my face! I love having my little body covered in thick, sticky goo!

    Sometimes Jeff bends over and lets me give it to him in the ass with my tiny cock (ohhh how that feels good), but most of the time they just make me masturbate in front of them. It's still fun, especially watching Michael and Timothy licking the mess we make off the floor!

    I seriously recommend that any men between 8 and 14 that love sucking dick, getting chained up, and being treated like a little girl even though you're a little boy, consider a job in the field of dicksucking! Of course you have to be willing to take a lot of pain and "discipline" -- beatings, whippings, hanging by various body parts, ass-reamings, being burned by candle wax, and being chained in a dirty basement with spiders and rats all over you, are just some of the downsides to this job. But the daily meals of pure, yummy man cum more than makes up for it!

    Caution! Never get involved with dicksucking if your master has a "girlfriend!" Rob doesn't like people knowing he's really a pedo and into lil boys like me, so he sometimes brings this girl named Kathleen along. But all she ever does is tie me up and beat me after I suck Rob's dick! Being beaten by the guys is bad enough, at least I get to suck cock after! But all she ever does is torture me!!
