“The people that are the most susceptible to the corporate bullshit tended to choose the worst solutions to those problems on a consistent basis,” Littrell said.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Well that goes some way partially to explaining why management at large corporations almost as a rule are uselessly incompetent.
Uuh I feel you, my older job got worse and worse until it had up to 25 meetings a week… All bullshit.
When I complained it was first brushed off as not true, then I screenshotted a week with 25 meetings (senior software dev, but not manager) and that got some attention finally and actions were taken to reduce the number of meetings.
So they started with “stand up meetings” doesn’t count, so those 5 meetings does not count … (So down to 20, right?) Because they are not meetings, right? Stand up Meetings…
And all mandatory of course, except they said they were not, miss obe and you’d get problems and childish lectures about corpo culture and crap.
Can’t make that shit up. And yeah, people running on hot air love corporate speak and corporate everything ugh, probably they think they’re finally productive or something.
/Rant off!
I’m no longer there, good luck to you!
“Standups” by video call where everyone is sitting. That sounds like corporate thinking.
Just this week I had someone try and book a half hour call with me to get the url for a repository.
