well it’s mostly that people call for the sniffles to “be seen faster” and their medic who just pronounced an entire family in a burning car or told a mom her baby was dead or something wasn’t properly deferential or concerned.

The only real side benefit is that I'm doing the work of a sysadmin every day now and can hopefully put it on my resume to skip a few job titles between what I have and what should have.

Please leave. And by that I mean switch jobs to get a giant paycheck increase and better conditions.

Also I love remembering that the origin of The Customer Is Always Right is literally a menswear store compromising on their sense of style because people were giving them money for badly matched suits. The intent was "do whatever gets you the easy paycheck" not "all customers must be treated like royalty".

Incidentally, a lot of customers deserve to be treated like royalty :guillotine:

A lot of managers work the exact same way. Hire someone with specific qualifications, experience and knowledge to do something, then for some idiotic reason try to tell them how to do their job rather than letting them do it.

Well yeah. The managers make more money so they're more correct.

As a designer, the overwhelming majority of your job is defending your work against the lowest common denominator, MBA-holding freaks who think they know graphic design because their nephew can gently caress around in Photoshop.

Two weeks ago i got to listen to the previous site designer, whose site was unnavigable and childish, fire off an “IM SORRY AND IF EVERYONE ELSE DISAGREES ILL BACK OFF BUT I HATE IT” and then complain loudly about wanting much bigger text and how some of the text covered up some pics.

oh i've been looking for over a year now, it's mostly that i'm paid weirdly well where i am so anything that isn't a step up title wise would be a decrease in what i make, which i'm not willing to do

The ERBs are clever and rewatchable (I never get all the jokes and references in the first watch). Glad they're still making em.

That one was pretty good, classic argument about marx and communism. "These Marxists and communists are trying to help people but it always works out bad! ... that's why we need to openly never help anyone but ourselves!"

Real anakin Skywalker "it's the jedi who are evil!" energy. I mean the jedi may be failures, but the sith openly identify as evil.
