  • I work in a fairly toxic work environment.

    The reasons I do what the engineers are doing are,

    1. A lot of times people will ask me questions and I give them answers. Then something will go wrong and it will somehow be my fault that I didn’t mention it to them (they didn’t ask, and I don’t know the specifics of what they are doing).

    2. I have my own goals and projects for the year. Why should I give you a significant amount of my time when my salary/bonus will not reflect helping you in anyway.

    3. Job security.

    These might sound bad, but that is how it works in corporate America

    Edit: It sounds like you need management on board with you before you can fully continue







  • I worked for McDs in high school, around 2008. Big Mac meal used to be $6.08 with tax, $1 menu used to be $1.06 with tax. I went the other day and was shocked to see how much everything costs now plus I have to order via a screen (which I find bizarre, but maybe I’m just old now).

    I also feel like working there used to be kind of fun. I’d take the order from the drive thru/take the money, kitchen would secretly prioritize drive thru orders (everything is timed), and window person would get the order together. Now it seems like they take 1 or 2 drive thru orders at a time and make the line wait until those are done.

    Seems like fewer people working & prices went up - and I’m sure those poor folks working are making minimum wage. It’s just sad all around.
