Which company sent a middle manager in here to post this
😂What? As an SSE you might make more money, but you essentially still do the same sh#+ as before, you just get extra crap thrown on top like 15 hrs of pointless meetings and being responsible for every stupid automation on your team.
If an automation goes down at night guess who gets called first. Not the junior engineer 😅
Who let marketing enter our dept
can you both just update your fucking jira tickets?
Seems like on both sides of the spectrum, junior and CTO/leads seem incapable of updating their tickets
My favorite part of this joke is at my company seniors are salaried vs hourly so it's actually the juniors that stand to make the profits when shit hits the fan on a Friday night.
It's pretty common to see people's performance mysteriously drop off right before they become eligible for the promotion, so that they can squeeze a little more time as an hourly with OT availability.
I would love to punch in punch out. Being salaried is such a scam.
It comes with a similar set of nebulous expectations as unlimited PTO.
Tell me you're not a senior without telling me you're not a senior ahh shit
Deadlines are a suggestion
Okay, so, you have until the deadline to sell to the customer that that "bug" is the feature they wanted (not necessarily asked for).
As freelancer I agree. I was fixing SW for one company after their senior left. Took me good 5 months each with ~200 hours on invoice. It was absolute freakshow full of memory leaks and race conditions that previous dev handled by scheduling crontab to restart services every few hours, but as the scope grow not even that was good enough by the time I started working on it.
Deadlines are suggestions I choose to meet because the hassle of not meeting them means more meetings.
What profits? My salary stays the same even if I over exceed expectations
The only thing my experience has giving me, the ability to solve a problem in 30 minutes and report it as three days work.
What you don’t appreciate your 30min zoom cocktail celebration? (2 drink max, no snacks)
Some jobs pay bonuses for excellent team performance and also additional bonuses if all teams have excellent performance so you are incentived to help others.
As a freelancer I can relate
I fixed a broken a thing and they gave me a few grand as a way of saying thanks.
Pretty meh government subcontractor, though, I appreciated it. Granted, I was tossed like 2k and saved several million dollars from falling through...but hey!...it's what we're paid to do... sobs
