My manager, who tries to be an enlightened individual, constantly remarks how surprised he is that this female engineer worked out so well since she is a girl. I mean, how long do you have to spend in tech before it becomes apparent that anyone can do well if they are interested in the work and the company? I'm no SJW by any means but I am totally appalled at the surprise he has shown over her success.
Is this classic corporate soul suck? Seeing this myself after the wonderful company I worked at was acquired. The bigger company is full of people that are either bored or severely overworked. Everything is completely tainted with microaggression and political agendas.
Classic. Shitty team lead is dragging me down. I like him but he is being lazy and generally sucks at being a lead. Manager sticks by him because he is basically being held hostage. Lead seeks to maintain the hostage situation by "architecting" everything and laying hands on every single project. And they complain because none of the other engineers are able to handle stuff. Wonder why.
" Final straw was in a review meeting and instead of being about me, it was about my coworkers- he was basically asking me to spy on them and report them if they did things wrong.'
CIO in grooming...had a similar job but didn't have to be asked to spy. I flew every stupid idea up the flag pole to make sure it met "organic" resistance when presented.
The higher pay in California does not make them better off. I make about $130k but my house and other expenses are low and my quality of life blow my Cali colleagues out of the water--in the same company. They make more than me but barely scrape by driving old cars and shitty clothes...and they are always working on their expensive ass houses. Houses they are not proud of.
No one denied global warming...it is easy to prove and makes sense. I haven't met anyone who has been quilted into believing it is their fault because they ate cow meat or drove a car though.
If you don't like the law, change it....oh yeah, and shut the fuck up with your stupid straw man shit. Your point was not missed by anyone....so your rambling is not at all insightful.
This is exactly what happens in a society that has uneven application of law....only a matter of time before hordes of people figure out they need to march to Connecticut.

People think corporations are toxic...try a mom-and-pop shop like this guy described. They are complete shit.
Purchased by one...yes, this is an exact description of the way things played out.
Yeah...don't do any of it you beef headed moron.
"storage admin role where I could have significant impact for the business"
LMFAO!!! Storage admin impacting the business. Holy shit...the only way you can impact the business is by frying all the data and backups.

Fuck. This.

See the tax man before you go hog wild.
In Cincinnati and no one balks at that rate. If you want people that can eek out a sentence and code you are going to drop $130k....period.
"so industry outsourced"
In the early 20th century that would have gotten your business burnt to the ground and very likely the owner's houses.

What are we supposed to do...move? You fucking dumb shit.

And for the people who contribute, unemployment pay is not an option nor would living on UBI be. Not seeing your point.

You assertions about cross platform are quickly becoming wrong and harmful.
As COO I wouldn't touch Linux with a ten foot pole unless it was in the data center and not RedHat and not involving winbind.
Ubuntu 10.10 was the peak....it dipped roughly below the peak and has been hovering there for ten years.
Most of it is probably screen pop to a shitty fucking web app.
First thing that enters my mind....why the fuck does the tax authority have 13000 fucking workstations? Jesus Titty Fucking Christ.

"My bet is it's more than offline; or offline as in deleted and all servers and backups burned with thermite and dumped into the ocean."
The people doing the burning get heavily rewarded. I have been the guy who knew too much.
