          Standing up at the wrong time is how you end up on the list to get laid off. Most calls I have at work are like group therapy sessions, as everyone has ideas of what they believe is correct, but they know if they keep pressing with management or take the time to do what is right, it won’t go well for them.

          A good manager likes to be told they’re wrong and how things should be done, but those are few and far between.

            This is coming from a guy who lasted a year and a half in the office. Sounds like it’s a systematic issue…

              It is. I’ve lasted almost 18 years. Things come in waves of good and bad. We’re currently in some bad times.

      Today I removed code from a codebase that was added in 2021 and never ever used. Sadly, some people are as content to litter in their repo as they are in the woods.
