Yeah, it's a disgrace!
Boss don't do shit why I gotta do shit??
The audacity of some people.
But I am too busy thinking of fixes for problems we haven't run into yet, why do I have to deal with this problem we did run into?
I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you'll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.
Yeah i dont think a lot of people appreciate that its by coercion.
I don't get it. He hates his job? Is that the joke?
I think it's just a human reaction to work sometimes. Like, it's clearly your job and why you're employed, but part of you is also like:
As an engineer, ill frequently get an email or slack message asking me to do something Im employed to do but haven't done in months. I have to drop my current work and try to relearn something that is now slightly different in unexpected ways. And its already broken too, thats why I got the message. Def ruins a day.
I recently received a question along the lines of "Hey do you remember [project we did roughly 18 months ago]? What firmware version did we use on the controller?"
