He was supposed to start his vacation earlier this week. He definitely showed up to meetings I GUARANTEE he didn't need to be in on the first day he was supposed to be gone. Man, we've been here longer than you. We can handle it. You're awesome, but don't let upper management bully you. Us senior devs sure don't. Fuck em. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] JDubbleu@lemmy.world 18 points 3 years ago That's crazy to me. Our manager went out on a boat last week on Friday, and we haven't heard shit from him since. Hell, we'd probably tattle on him to our skip level if we did because our skip would be furious to hear people are working during vacation. I'm a software engineer in the US, and unfortunately stories like yours are all too common here :/ permalink fedilink source parent [–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago My boss assured me he couldnt make the client meeting last week because he was on vacation. So he phoned in on Teams from the boat dock where he was staying with his family. And that was self imposed, hes the company owner! Some people just cant let go. permalink fedilink source parent [–] balls_expert@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 years ago* That big part of you is fetishizing nuance and mistaking it for wisdom Nuance doesn't stand on its own, there is no sense saying something has merit because it has nuance. I can give 10 examples of things that would be moronic if you tried to add nuance into them. "Nazism bad". "The crime of loitering shouldn't exist".
