This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, it really is as simple as you'd think it is.
They're entitled, vain, and incompetent.
Gigantocorporate structures... do that to themselves and their constituents.
They have a whole other kind of 'social norms', just like any particularly culturally different group or economic class of people have noticably different expectations and behavior patterns.
The corporation values ass kissing and gaslighting more than anything else, it takes an extreme and constant, consistent effort inside the company to make that not happen, like pushing a boulder up a hill.
You can place varying degrees of blame on management or devs, on specifically full of themselves and insufferable people...
... but the ultimate reason this happens is because shareholders say line must go up, and the social dynamics that occur in an organization that is rabidly aiming for that goal... produce narcissists that are full of themselves.
Because a mass shakeup, an attempt to reset that via resetting people... well that means downtime, that means 'a rebuilding year'... but that line needs to keep going up NOW. And firing all your top leadership is a near guaranteed way to tank your stock value.
