      I thought I’d love a job like this, and it was fine, for a while.

      But you can feel yourself stagnating and you know that when they eventually make you redundant you’d struggle to get another job because you spent too long coasting.

      I left it for a job at a startup, much more engaging but also much more work

      It’s okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

        Think of it that way: those nice people are sending you money every month and all you have to do is go there and look busy. Certainly not the most rewarding way to spend your day but having money is nice.

    All this is great if you’re working remote. At least you can be far away from a cubicle or even worse - an open office while doing all this nonsense.

    Having a team touch base, followed by a daily standup, followed by a quality initiative meeting, followed by a biweekly support touch base, followed by a demo for a tool your team will never use, followed by lunch and learn session over some AI tool you’ll be forced to use, followed by your biweekly 1:1 with the manager, followed by the department touch base, followed by the company all hands… Aaaaand done with meetings. Finally, some time to get some work done… then your downstream customer wants you to investigate why their counts don’t match yours… “could you run the totals again? Could you run them broken down by hour? By minute? By second? Can you get me a list of each record at these 6 timestamps? Can I get them in a different format? Oops, the problem was on our end.” Great. And it’s 5 o’clock. Scrum master gonna be up my ass about story points tomorrow.

      Or zip. Or pdf. Or security solution doesn’t allow .png, please send as .pdf.

      Funny thing is, i’ve never heard about plaintext/markdown mails being enforced over the usual html-with-potentially-scripts-and-hidden-URLs.

    • waiting 20 minutes for your PC to boot all the corporate bloatware before it’s usable
    • quarterly 4-hour-long all-department meeting that could have been an email
    • “incorporating” the latest tech buzzword into your process because that one manager has nothing better to do
    • “celebrating” things like Company Culture Week™ and other BS stuff imagined up by people with nothing better to do

    “Let’s try to get this thing done with a ridiculous deadline, knowing full well that the work will be discarded because of overriding factor X but it looks good that the team got it done in the deadline someone set, so the someone will get their bonus”
