Same here. I'm disgusted by how the corporate waging system works, how fake everything is, and I couldn't fit in if I tried to (I did try a couple of times in fact.)
Now I'm trying to make money on my own and hoping one day I'm able to get cashflow past my survival needs and be able to start working towards making it.
Some people here complain about not having enough to make it in their lifetimes, and I'm over here thinking about how I could start working towards making it... sigh

The (sad) matter of fact is that in the business world EQ >>>> IQ. It's all about how well you're liked and how well you get along with the "right people."
I got fast tracked to management and right now my team is filled with people that have literal decades more experience than me, some of them are literal PhDs. And yet, even though they are amazing at their jobs and undoubtedly intelligent they are massive autists in the business sense, constantly getting into pissing arguments with other departments/employees over who is more right etc. A "good manager" doesn't need to be an expert of their craft, 50% of management work is greasing deals with other stakeholders in cross-functional projects and 50% of it is enabling your employees to be able to do their job efficiently by putting them in the right environment to thrive.

TL;DR
EQ>IQ and chads reign supreme in the corporate world just like everywhere else.

kek, no I'm not a shitskin or a foid. I'm also not retarded, I have few years experience, which in all honesty, is all you need to be in a management position. Managers aren't cranking out line level work like running financial simulations in excel, you're dealing with other stakeholders and managing the socially retarded nerds on your team.

It's the same for getting line level promotions btw. If I have two guys working for me and one is a super genius that submits 99/100 quality work but he's a massive autist constantly fighting with other teams and causing drama and I have a 2nd guy who submits maybe 80/100 quality work but isn't an autist and he gets along with everyone I'm going to write the 2nd guy higher performance reviews and give him better salary bumps every time.

I don't drink at all now because I think I was almost an alcoholic. I'm fully functional but also addicted to nicotine. I cut back my caffeine intake to two coffees a day. Also I buy modafinil online illegally. I think COVID-19 was created by the NIH in Wuhan, China that's why it later leaked from there. The deep state would do anything to stop an outsider.

Autist joins a team and thinks that KPI performance > everything else and that it writes him a golden ticket to be an annoying piece of shit to work with. Gets surprised when he gets fired/poor performance reviews. Many such cases.

I've never been fired or failed a job interview.

>What is your greatest strength?
I don't sit around with my thumb up my ass when I'm having a problem, I figure out the answer because I don't have time to be a retard because I care about making you money so you'll share it with me. I'll also learn job skills on my own time so you won't use as many resources training me to become revenue producing.
>What is your greatest weakness?
I'm not interested in sports. This is a problem because many clients talk about sports and I can't pretend to give a shit.
>Why should we hire you?
We both know the real answer. It's about money. I will try to generate revenue and pay for myself and then some.
>Why do you want to work here?

New changes are made faster than development can get to them. We are already ready to launch, everything else is white noise.

Fired for performance on the 1st month of a new year? Fuck out of here with that bs. I was meeting KPIs every fucking quarter, every deadline, every request but the moment the upper brass makes a mistake they can't bear looking bad in front of the new CEO.

>Manager pisses off 3rd party contractor
This is code for "I/our development team was outsourcing 90% of our work to India and India delayed so when we reported it in our monthly committee the manager was pissed at us and fired me (as he rightfully should have)"

The average IT project team these days can't even fucking code. You're all retarded handlers for your pet pajeets who you outsource 90% of your work to and then you expect the rest of the business to be understanding when it blows up in your face and you miss all of your deadlines.

At the time I had pride in what I was doing ya know. That was a mistake I won't make anymore. Lesson learned here.

>Manager pisses off 3rd party contractor
Our manager basically told our 3rd party US team a very corporate "FUCK YOU" because the 3rd party team could not meet last minute changes all because management thought X Y Z was super critical this last second.

I immediately emailed the contractors to apologize but the damage was done. Those changes where not going to get done in time and I was stuck holding the bag.

How is this right? Why should I get the blame for this fuck up when the manager got his panties in a knot because the 3rd party team couldn't do it THIS SECOND.
