Just got out of a company-wide mandatory meeting about an R&D "change initiative" that will revolutionize the way we think about collaboration.

At the beginning we had to choose between being a "Buffalo or Goose". Most people chose the chad buffalo over the virgin goose obviously, and then the trainer advanced to the next slide and explained that Goose Leadership is superior because everyone can share an equal role in leading and advanced our company mission. Meanwhile Buffalo Leadership is inferior because everyone blindly follows one leader even if we're all heading off a cliff.

Depends on how much you can disembody yourself from corporate boomer culture. I'm a software architect, everyday I maybe do an hour or two of work combined, and the rest is pretending I'm busy while reading manga or shitposting on 4channel.org. Yes it sucks having to go to an office filled with normies every day, but I just turn off the critical part of my brain and absorb the bullshit. For 145k it's still worth it, r-right?

I work in a corporate pharma lab and get the impression that working a purely deskjob in corporate setting has much more bullshit associated with it as far as workload and expectations go because most people here, including management directly above me have science degrees and you can only go so fast with the experimentation goes. Idk, there's definitely boomerism but it's a lot of hands-on type stuff so there isn't this need to reinvent the fucking wheel when daily operations go. Helps that I found a decent clique of whites near my age to deal with all the pajeets.

At the beginning of the meeting the R&D director gave a speech about how we need to all participate. "Participation is the key to success. As a reward for participating we have some bagels and cream cheese in the break room." Then he sat down in the front of the training room facing us (making sure we weren't on our phones) while the trainer presented

They're also trying to groom us into being "okay with change". "Change is a good thing, don't be afraid of it!"

i just realized that the only reason offices don't get shot up anymore is because they learned how to make a school system designed to "activate" the shooters early (or drive them to mere suicide). its like when the bomb squad just blows the bomb up with a smaller bomb instead of trying to defuse it. if a child gets shot or kills themselves, its not as much of a loss vs when a fully trained employee gets shot, you don't lose as much of your investment.

You just have to find ways to have fun with it. We had a round of that "workplace safety" bullshit at one job, it was all the rage with the HR fatties. We had to sit for an hour with some fat retired FBI agent about how to spot "employees on the edge". Shit like "If their cube doesn't have personal stuff displayed, it's suspect." *lightbulb*. I waited until the next week, and then started to slowly take down everything in my cube. Sure enough, the looks and suddenly halted conversations start, the random drop in "How you doing?" from people that never talked to me before. I'm laughing my ass off.
Then, finally, my boss goes "why are you clearing out your cube? Are you quitting?" I laughed, and said "nah, I was bored with the old stuff, I'm still deciding on new stuff". She gave me a look, and that was the end of it. She knew what I was doing, she hated that shit as much as I did, and I gave her the out she needed, never came up again. I hung some shit up and forgot it.
TORPEDO that shit, dudes. It's fun. Just don't get caught.

Seriously. Consultants make serious bank, to tell CEOs how to fix their companies, and it's always shit like this. I worked for one, where the CEO chased away over 50% of their core market. They spent almost a million dollars on a consultant company, that was like something out of Office Space. Me and my then boss sat at a conference table, where they told us "We want to get your take, even though it won't be taken into account in our final evaluation". My boss asked "Then why are we here?" The dude fucking smirked, raised his hands like "Just doing my job!"
Their evaluation after disrupting the company for a week? "Get the core customers back."

everybody who didn't know me thought i was an asshole and didn't want to work with me. everybody who ended up working with me loved me because i backed them up 100% unless they did something wrong, in which case i coached them, taught them to own it, and everyone else to move past it, then they fell into the first category.

I have said this once, And I will say this again and again.

Being a wagie is like being a slave. You get paid, then all that money goes on your expenses, and the rest is put in the bank so you can "retire" after decades of being a wagie.

To combat this, I developed a method of escaping the system.

Step 1: Get a degree in IT, Engineering, Business admin etc.. Something that has good practicality and can be used through various fields

step 2: Attend a lot of conferences and make some friends at large companies.

step 3: Before graduating, leverage these friends to get a job. The point is to find a "shit" job, where essentially forgotten about and can spend most of your day doing jack all.

step 4: Go monk mode. Instead of spending your money on useless crap, invest it in high risk investments, open up your business etc.

step 5: Develop enough passive income from the above methods to perma neet. Retire in mid to late 20's and enjoy life.

This is pretty much a decent plan. The thing it ignores is that you get caught in a cycle of competing with pretty smart guys at the office and it takes a lot of your outside of time.

The key (to your plan, not other strategies) is to accept a position/level of pay below your capabilities.

Well it's not a shit job or anything, but I really wanna get some professional experience on my resume since I kinda can't afford to hop jobs or anything. Mechanical engineer. I get to stay where I work, and the benefits are good ebough. I was gonna stay parked in a position for the sake of my resume.

You should be breaking 70k with a couple of years in experience with mech e. As long as you understand that, all is good.

If you are literally fresh out of college, the pay is good.

However, if you get your professional engineer cert, that is a WAY better use of your time.

Unless you need cash now for a crack addiction or a family emergency, your strategy is downright bad for optimizing total money earned in the next 5 years.

Just declined attending a manditory Xmas party. All of my co-workers are women (telemarketing) so of course they found this to be really odd.

Recently I also caused a stir by emailing somebody about a job related question that wasnt my immediate sales manager but someone higher. Apparently this subverts the chain of command and makes the immediate manager look bad (as if she wasnt good enough to provide me the info I was looking for) 4 people were involved to "resolve" this issue but its cool cause im an OK perfomer.

I think ill ask for a raise at my next performance review cause fuck it, the churn rate is high there and i am one of the few who has long term aspirations there, thats worth a 10% raise right?

Thanks anon, it's not so bad, but I completely get why you say that. There are some men, but it's about 80 percent women in the department. A pretty bases guy just left from my own team precisely because he had a falling out with the sales manager girl, who is quite neurotic of course like many career women tend to be. Barely in control. She is actually a year younger than me, I keep forgetting.

This topic hits so close to home.

A few years ago I had a job in this office at a famous company. My boss was this 40 something basic bitch boomer woman who was only one promotion higher than me (I was 22).

The job was fucking easy but it was clear how much my autistness disturbed her. The other people in the office were typical normies but pleasant enough. I just didn't socialize with them or my manager, though I of course still talked to her about work related matters.

A few months in to my job, she is alone in a meeting room with me and she switches the subject from the work to why she thinks I should be fired. She is literally shouting at me for not being a "team player" or whatever the fuck. When I ask her for concrete examples of my sub par work she doesn't give any.

Then I was fired a few weeks later. Luckily it hasn't harmed my career but only for other lucky reasons I won't go in to. That was my worst experience so far. Other employees had to be involved in my firing because of the process but I'm unsure what level of involvement they had.

On the plus side, she was an ugly bitch that looked like she was 10 years older than she was. And her commute time was something like one and a half hours each way.

DevOps can be fun as long as the company and the developers have the right mindset about it. Developers shouldn't just write an application then "throw it over the wall" to DevOps and leave it to them to figure out how best to deploy it. Both sides need to collaborate from the beginning of architecture design before any code is even written.

But be careful, some companies just take the DevOps pill suddenly because their CTO heard the buzzword the other day on LinkedIn. Of course they have a legacy monolith application built on Windows and SQL Server 2005, and want to lift-and-shift it all "into the cloud". That job listing is a trap.

A competent company hiring for DevOps will challenge you with questions and even a practical portion (create a Docker container that does X, write some Terraform that deploys Y). If you're breezing through an interview, flip the script and challenge the interviewer with your own questions about how their current software is architected, how much they currently know about CI/CD, etc.

>> No.15596087

>>15595993

i think theyre migrating from an older deployment solution to kubernetes and "cloud native". software is their product and main source of revenue so I have a reason to believe that's a genuine sentiment. the tech stack being advertised is trendy and marketable (microservices, go, writing k8s operators, ci/cd, jenkins, openshift).

Iid get away from doing CRUD apps however which is boring but reliable and easy.

My team is fortunately much more practical. We share new information with each other as we become aware of it, none of that fake enthusiasm bullshit though I have seen it from lower level employees; I think that's them sucking dick because they think that fake bullshit will get them noticed.

There's your standard being 'corporate respectful' for lack of a better term, but we do get bonuses and management brings in food somewhat regularly to bring up the mood.

They won't. For a whole host of reasons that are (sadly) not political.

Some consultants make good money. Majority doesn't make any though since they are only lured in by the idea that you can work with your laptop in an office giving advice to businesses.
If you're young, chances are your advice won't be required as you don't provoke (or inspire) enough trust needed to make the buck.
There's a reason why most consultants started their business just to avoid unemployment.
On another note, joining an established consulting company may be okay.

I got hired to a job I didn't need, and I have been walking out of every single hr / "mandatory" meeting / indoctrination session when it becomes apparent that is what it is. I have been "referred" to HR twice due to this "behavior", I have explained to them both times that I would not be attending any type of behavior modification seminars or briefings due to it being personally offensive to my belief system, but will continue to comply with the company code of conduct that I signed when I was hired. They seem utterly baffled, and were quite dumbfounded when I also excused myself from the meeting with them. They were startled from the moment I sat down, placed my phone on the desk and informed them the conversation was being recorded.

I was expecting to get fired, but it didn't happen. Haven't gotten an email about these gay meetings in 4 months, when it used to be a bi-weekly thing. My suspicion is that most departments that implement this bullshit, do not actually do so under the directive of the company senior leadership. It is some sort of in house retardation and social experimenting by HR that is trying to stay relevant. Occasionally they try to slip it in at the end of something professional, but I just peace out.

Their behavior when I told them the meeting was being recorded was very telling. The pair (of women, of course), were visibly upset and uncomfortable, a total shift from their usual passive-aggressive demeanor. They knew they had fucked up somehow. I'm still not sure exactly what their fuckup is, but I inadvertently called their bluff in an effective way during my apathy fueled attempt to get fired or at least start some drama.

I also had a few email exchanges after these HR meetings, where I explained using very careful and professional verbiage, that any perceived retaliation would be appropriately forwarded to all concerned individuals. The tone of the emails immediately shifted from accusatory and semi-hostile, to apologetic/professional.

I think a lot of employees don't realize that they can just say....no.

Just say no. If they bitch about it, then you can professionally imply that you will sue them if they take action against you.

I realize a lot of you are wage slaves (that is, you don't have the freedom to risk your employment by not playing ball), but if you are NOT in slavery status, you will discover some truly amazing things about your rights as a worker, if you dare to exercise them.

Most corporate jobs have very specific tasks that you are supposed to do, and that is literally all you are responsible for. If you are aware of what those tasks are, and you keep careful details of all the extra bullshit your company tries to get you to do, you begin to take back your power as an individual.

Labor laws are complex things, and a huge number of companies casually violate them all the time. If you spend even an hour a week actually coming to an understanding of your rights and the laws which govern those rights in the workplace, you can take your company by the balls.

Then, you can more than likely sue them if they fuck with you.

For the most part, employees dont do this because they need their job or the falsely believe that they are not being exploited. It's a sorry state of affairs, but it is liberating when you figure out that its all just a rigged game, and there are hordes of lawyers waiting to fuck over any company they can get dirt on.

You can take a small business by the balls but you sure as hell are not winning a case against a big corporation, more so if you actually need the job.
I don't know of a single person who has advanced in their careers and at the same time tried "exercising their rights". Sure, you don't take bullshit and sometimes you say you simply won't do it, but if you start with the legal talk, you're out of the door. That's been my experience.

Simple example, the other time I tried to get fired was when my boss assigned me a task I wasn't trained to do, I explained I wasn't trained to do it, he tried to coerce me into doing it anyways, and then I asked him to sign a statement saying he attempted to assign me a task I wasn't trained to do, and I would do it.

You should have seen this dude's face. He actually lifted his hands up defensively, as if I was about to strike him, when I asked him (in a very casual and conversational tone), that I would be happy to perform the task if he would sign the statement . It was like I was about to end his life.

>No no anon that's fine, I understand! No problem!

Well motherfucker, you knew it was incorrect to ask me to do it in the first place, but the second I ask you to put your name on your order you freak out? That's really fucking interesting. These people live in their system, they know the rules, and when one of their wagies revolts and demands to be treated as a human, they don't know what to do. Because it is so unusual.

It's fucking weird. The pay is excellent but management and hr are in this destructive cycle of social justice / experimental leadership retardation. Every day is like a game where I figure out how I can subvert their stupid and very evil plans.

I don't know why they don't just fire me. Probably are looking for concrete evidence I have done something worth being terminated for, since apparently not drinking the koolaid is not something they can fire you for.

Companies hate employees who know and exercise their rights, because they cannot exploit them too badly.

Another example, I made about $50,000 off a settlement for this (after layer fees and other bullshit), and they also paid ~$5,000 in medical bills.

I was hired for a contract that required travel, and had a 'maximum weight required to lift of 40lbs', and that was on the contract I signed.

Right after signing the contract, the company shipped me out to a location where I had to get a massive fucking single bag of gear that weighed easily about 70 lbs, and was expected (somehow) to tote this bag across about a half mile and load it myself onto a cargo pallet. There wasn't any equipment around to assist with the loading.

Doable? Sure, yeah. I'm fit and in my late 20's. I took a picture of the bag, had them weigh it at the distribution center, took a picture of the digital scale. They were confused there but did it for me. I emailed my company rep with the picture and said "this bag weighs 70 lbs, am I supposed to load this onto the truck myself?", and he emailed me back "just get it on the truck".

So I did. No sweat, because I lift. Then I immediately took my health insurance and saw a doctor when I was back in town for back pain, explained that I had to lift something heavy at work, and he put me through the whole wringer. I explained that I had taken a picture of the bag they wanted me to lift and he chucked and said "good for you", and meant it.

WOW, what a fucking beehive effect that shit was. These fuckers lost their shit, while I kicked back on 'pain medication', and unable to perform the contract because it removed me from the type of status I needed to be on.

Long story short, I layered up and it was extremely cut and dry. The contract said 40lbs, and the company tried to get me to lift something that weighed 70lbs as a critical component of performance of my contract. I had the picture and scale weights to prove it.

Sounds like you're trying to burn bridges.

>> No.15601672

Hundreds of fuckers had come before and lifted the 70lb bag that was not in their contract to lift, because they wanted the money.

Maybe even thousands. Nobody ever stopped and thought...damn, you know what? This is bullshit, this isn't in my contract and I might hurt my back if I lift this retard size bag of bullshit.

Or if they did, they did it anyways because they wanted to work.

Just casual bullshit like this goes on daily. Am I that type of person that causes a problem? Yeah I guess I am, but if those faggots didn't try to fuck up their employees in the first place I wouldn't be able to cause a problem for them. It's just fucking stupid. I hate it.

Just don't dick over your employees and they won't dick you back. Simple stuff, but apparently very difficult not to do.

The system is rigged, and I don't see any reason not to take advantage of it to get ahead, when these corporate assholes are happy to run you through their idiot meatgrinder and try to destroy your body so they can make some extreme profit.

These dumb faggots, all they had to do was put the gear in two bags, but they wouldn't fucking do it since the bags themselves were an itemized part of the package. So fucking dumb.

I probably could have taken them for a lot more.
