I think my exit interview is gonna go like 'why did you decide to leave?' 'I'm a vim person, you're all emacs people, it was never meant to be'.

getting a SurveyMonkey link for an exit interview at my last gig was a good indicator the a) i made the right choice by leaving and b) that that company has a serious problem with turnover

two weeks in and the new job owns bones. it's really funny/sad to jump from one job to the next doing automation work where no one used features outside of the gui. this first period has been establishing basic web services and setting up a repo for the team for the first time (again). that said this new place is super loose and doesn't appear to give a poo poo as long as you're getting work done

we own infinite automation licenses for software and I had to talk a team down from rolling their own today :sigh:

my last place is swimming in deadweight fte staff and vendors who try and keep them afloat. as soon as I left, after literal years of all the ftes telling management they needed to hire me and my coworker on full time, they shifted a tier 1 cj into a completely new fte position on the team

if I hadn't already left I would have quit

"Can I get in trouble for [felony/industry blacklist-level offense]?" <--Asked very nonchalantly

"I see you've made yourself more efficient at your job by automating something. Good job obsoleting yourself IDIOT, prepare to be fired!" <--Always has 20+ upvotes

sounds like a good time to learn a new skill

pick something youve been meaning to teach yourself (regular expressions, the complicated bits of sql, a functional programming language, whatever) and read some wikipedia pages and watch some youtubes and :filez: some lynda classes and get to work

can you legally fire someone in cali for cucking you?

couldn't firing someone for a personal relationship be like, sexual harassment?

firing your cucking dev only to get slapped with a harassment suit would be the ultimate cuck

i think he is being a dumb person who uses cuck to mean any kind of betrayal and the dev was doing work somewhere else on the side.
