For me:

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

I threatened to call the fire marshal on an employer once if they didn't fix an emergency exit. It got fixed that night, but can't say it ingratiated me with management.

But I had told them about the broken door for almost a month.

    I told my boss about the team leader who was bullying others, bullying the business owners, and making extremely sexist and racist remarks to everyone "lower" than him, and then I became thd problem. 🙄 Management are the ones that preach "We're a family" until money or their ego is involved, and suddenly, they're crying and out for blood.

    You did what was right. Be proud to have the morals and respect for you and others that they will never have.
