"Do Your Best Work" by Work Chronicles

And get paid nothing extra for it

your hard work will always be rewarded with more hard work … and maybe a sliver of pizza …

Wow, the artwork has changed quite a bit for Dilbert over the years.

"Don't you dare embarrass me in front of MY boss!"

This has happened to me so many times recently...

If anyone wants a good example of what happens when you put a bunch of engineers in the room without a leader just go look at the dumpster fire that is Linux desktop for the past 30 years.

So, are you a business owner, or do you just like the taste of shoe leather?
Holy uninformed opinions Batman
- Sure, whatever you say.
I mean, even Windows games that use proprietary Windows graphics APIs work pretty well on Linux for me. What are you having problems with?
- Issues such as these are numerous https://lemmy.world/post/6788864
  Don't even get me started on gnome extensions breaking and wayland being half baked for a stupid long time.
- It's amazing how you resort to ignorant personal attacks when you hear something you don't like.
  For what it's worth, I spent last week tuning some k8s pod affinities. It's not that I can't, do LDE, it's that I'm not delusional enough to think 2fps in some games is worth fighting KDE and gnome and having every extension break every other upgrade.
The best managers, leaders, and mentors I've ever had started as engineers and could hold their own in a technical capacity. The second best are non technical, but value their team members and provide air cover for them to do their best work.
The worst are career middle managers that overcompensate their lack of knowledge and usefulness by spewing bullshit like this to get over their well deserved imposter syndrome.
If you're a "leader" I can promise that your team despises you and you absolutely crush their productivity. They aren't successful because of you, they're successful in spite of you.
And don't even get me started on Six Sigma Babysitters.
- Sorry to burst your bubble around that imaginative story but I do k8, tf, and run a platform team for 100 or so developers. Not to say it's Google but I can certainly hold my own.
Exactly. Engineers without a businessman create the most highly detailed, open source gifts to society.
Shhh you are ruining our envy disguised as a class struggle.
- I'm not envious, I want the world to be better. I want to be able to do my best work without it being wasted.
