Where I worked the guys were let go. The boss babe that destroyed the department in less than a year of being promoted was moved into another role because empowerment and $hit.

@Profitglutton90 The only thing you'd ever hear out of her mouth was build your network while never taking responsibility for the stuff she was promoted to deliver. Absolute waste of oxygen making 7 figures. They knew it would look bad on them firing her so they hung onto her like a bad smell.

5:35 Notice how the first one says she went to the best tech school but she was the only female that graduated? In my previous role for some reason despite the fact that overwhelmingly men do tech they were hell bent of having 50% women in all roles. It never ceases to amaze me how corporations in america operate no better than the soviet republics of old with the help of the HR department.

@hatchhermit77 100% There are at least 10 as***oles for every developer, their job it is to make the actual developers job way, way harder. I've been a developer for a long time, with some of the biggest and/or well known companies. The job of developing anything gets harder almost by the month. And I'm not even talking about the garbage code.

@Profitglutton90 I am almost positive the HR department had a hand in not firing her. That would set back their agenda and make them look bad.

Expecting you to pick the phone up at 3am because some dunce trader in Australia can't see prices. Or spending weeks expected to find other peoples problems that would cause a data center switch over to fail. Or people assuming you'll just work the weekends unpaid just because. I hear you.

@dacat8171 There's a very good possibility but this nonsense is playing out in so many companies everywhere.

My last job in a nutshell. At one of the most well known companies in the world. The infection runs so deep it's not funny.

Good for you, man. I've done SWE for almost 30 years and TBH I am thoroughly sick of it now. The DE&I nonsense and never ending whining about not enough whoomen. Rather than find another job I just decided to retire. Electrician is a fine job being and electrical/electronics engineer myself.

@dothedewinme In my last role the approach seemed to be dump all the work that other people are paid to do onto the developers. Even though there's production support staff, the developers are responsible for 1,2 and 3rd level support. QA, we don't need that, the developers can do that, Software deployment and upgrades that production support has done for the past 15 years? Nah, the developers can do that resulting in devs in NY always covering deployments in all other global regions early in the morning and late into the night. Business analysts? We don't need them, we can just give the devs some vague description of what we want and they can figure it out. I haven't even touched on the writing code part because there are lots of other potholes for the developers to fall into before they get to do what they actually should be doing. Oh wait, lets have a dozen meetings a week where the scrum scum raise their heads and complain about burn down charts, code coverage metrics and other nonsense. Oh, and you must be in the office when all or the above could be done 10x better if you weren't. It was so tiresome.

@censoredeveryday3320 I wish you all the best, man. I don't know where the world is heading and for me opting out of this BS system just seems to be the right thing to do.

@adamthompson9785 About 16 years ago I worked in a small $hitty startup that had been given $40m to toss onto a bonfire. The leadership was so incompetent it wasn't funny. They hired this guy with every buzzword under the sun to his name and a list of top-tier places he claims to have worked in. They made this clown our manager. Strangely every task he was asked to do himself he would delegate to me and demand the results by morning. After a few weeks of this I told the management that he should put up or shut up, they kind of agreed and asked this guy to write some protocol document. The next morning we came in to a 3 page document that looked like it was written by an infant. That document that I still have a copy of became known as "the tale of the 9 bit byte". Yes, he wrote a document where he confidently described how the bits in his 9 bit byte work in his amazing new protocol. He was fired. On the day he was let go many of us left the office because we weren't sure what he would do, he was that unstable. Paradoxically, the female intern that worked with us happened to be one of the most conscientious and capable junior developers I'd ever worked with.
