Why call me out like this

Yeah, management can be very dehumanizing. I learned to do what I think is best and cover for my team. A good manager makes the teams' work easier. Unfortunately you're wedged between who you're meant to support and who you actually serve, and that's a difficult tightrope.

It can feel very thankless but I'm sure you made a positive impact in the lives of those you led.

It can be a good learning experience in leading others. It was for me. Good managers can lead by example.

Definitely comes with more stress though.

I think the "difficult to please managers" speaks to me. I'm a top performing engineer and I had no problems leading the pack until I had a new manager forced on me who was very much a "suit" type. He views the team as numbers and everything can be solved by "throwing more bodies at it"

Thankfully I got promoted to a new team but yes there are many causes for burnout

Great read. As a network engineer turned programmer, I didn't think this would be very educational, but it was. Definitely gonna check out all other content on that site

I honestly think college is mostly a cultural staple for middle income families at this point. It's four years of "discovering yourself" and postponing adulthood.

The benefits of a college education are pretty difficult to quantify, unless your intended career requires undergrad.

However, building a career from 0 is pretty painful, and I don't think most people would have the stomach for it.

As someone who has used 4 chan but never spent any considerable time there, what's the difference? When is the text green?

If it makes you feel any better, I intentionally never use products that have intentionally repetitive messaging or earworm tendencies out of spite. Though I know I'm probably in the minority

I'd like to think you're right but they're more of a cult than a political party.

I'm at about 140k with no college education. 10 years experience. Not really required but certs help tremendously.

I'd believe that overhauls in this sense means that they have completely restructured/breathed new life to their campaign and thus gained favorability
