    Not exactly the same, but I once attended a work call when I was staying with my Dad after he had a knee replacement. He had decided to “tough it out” and not take painkillers, and during the call he started screaming “kill me! oh god kill me!” because of the pain, quite loud enough to be heard by everyone on the call. My boss said “it’s OK, ChickenLady, this call isn’t that important. Go ahead and kill your father.”

      I honestly think that humor is the answer to most if not all issues. Bit iffy since we don’t share the same but humor is the answer. That and puppies and kittens…

      Edit: and elephants!

      Strangely enough, in my bubble it is quite descent. People often posting interesting research and advances in the field.

    It’s a controversial take, OP, but I agree. The world does need more women like Nasim Najafi Aghdam!

          Clearly it wasn’t. The original post showed one manager being an asshole. OPs follow-up is that all managers are assholes. The leap and logic there is a relatively stupid way to view the world. It’s the same logic that says my sister is bad at driving, therefore all women are bad at driving. If you or the op want to have an immature view of the world, that’s your prerogative, but I’m interested in understanding at least the first level argument to be made for why all managers are bad.

            My manager recently denied some of my PTO requests, so whatever you just said (I didn’t read it) doesn’t count and all managers are bastards. QED.

            Imo, it can be generalized that most people in power are asshats because the only people that want to wield power do so for all the wrong reasons

              When I was in the Marines I was a manager of sorts. Was in charge of 12 guys, direct report for three teams of four guys apiece. I made demands of them, but when our goals were met I let them use their time as they wanted. I got down into the shit with them, I taught them, I made them teach each other. Overall, we all performed well. I liked being in charge because I felt I could help make them better, and I think I did. I am certainly not the only person to have been that way.

              I think your generalization is overly broad, and it just reeks of nobody should have to do anything. There needs to be some structure to things, we’ve had hierarchies going back a bajillion years, they exist in the animal world, it just makes sense. To claim that all managers just want to put their thumbs on people sounds ignorant.

              I eventually got out, and it was basically because I knew that I was no longer going to be able to lead the same, my priorities in life had changed, and it was time to step aside. Again, I’m confident I’m not alone, and I say that becaue I’ve had very good leaders. To your point, though, I have had some absolute shitheads who were my bosses, managers, leaders, but far from all of them. But they do exist.

              My last manager was great. Never told me how to do anything and basically kept me insulated from the higher-ups so I could get shit done. His only negative was that as a former dentist he kept telling me I should floss more.

    I recently deleted my LinkedIn for two reasons:

    1. Endless horseshit recruiters coming at me with bullshit jobs

    2. I come from a large firm. LinkedIn became what I would describe as occupational hubris as I would see partners from there making prideful post after post about increasing the toxicity of the place in words that made them sound all wise and stuff

    I would further see many posts about young people abandoning pursuit of the profession and there being a dire shortage of entry level recruits. Responses to these posts always address lowering the educational and certification requirements, but never address the reality of working eighty hours a week, getting shat on, berated, and dehumanized the entire time for about sixty grand a year with maybe a five to ten percent chance of moving up to the real money.

    Fuck all of them right in the eyeball with the white hot barbed penis of Satan himself.

    Every once in a while, I’ll drive by that building. When I do, I open up the sun roof and throw them a Bronx salute out the roof as I pass by. I know somebody actually saw me do it because word got back to me about it. Petty I know, but satisfying nonetheless.

    I make maybe one third of what I could if I had stuck it out, but I still make plenty to live on, and that increase would require me to be somebody I refuse to become.

      I’m very mean to LinkedIn recruiters. I always let them pitch the job, but I always say “please review my job experience first, I don’t appreciate my time wasted”.

      And usually my response is something like “What the hell made you think that pitching this IT Technician job to someone with the current job title of Senior Project Manager was a good idea? When I asked you to read through my job experience, I guess I made the mistake of thinking you could read.”

          Oh man, that would have sounded so nice when I was still working in the industry.

          I could just picture being stuck on site being berated in the middle of the night since some far away NOC thought deleting the switch configuration files was a good idea (again) and getting the offer to be a goat herder.

          “Wait your telling me no human contact at all? Comes with a hut? Many KMs from the nearest technology?”

      yeah, like the social media for the villains in every horror movie. Like this is 100% where the guy from saw posts about the method to get the most fear out of a trap.

    This is missing the super cool and interesting formatting.

    Every post on LinkedIn must be formatted for maximum visibility.

    The way to do that is by putting a line break after every sentence.
