It’s filled with people who are good stage talkers.

Corporate America is where women, especially women of color, stay broke, get gaslit, and are trained to play small. It is not a system built for growth or truth. It is adults on a playground fighting over a scarce resource that none of us actually own. The billionaires own the swings. The rest of us are told to be grateful for the sandbox. We lie to ourselves, thinking we are building something real, when in truth we are just maintaining their illusion.

Just remind your clients: Companies say they want your best effort. They don’t. They want your best implementation of _their_ best effort.

I see issues that nobody is interested in resolving, make suggestions that are ignored, see people promoted who aren’t good at their jobs, and mechanisms above me that remain mysterious to me that are gatekept from me.

they reward people who tell lies and make themselves seem like they're doing more than they actually do. people who tell the truth are punished and bullied

I’ve worked in tech for 10 years. I’m only 36 and I’m exhausted and traumatized. Already ready to retire.

You have to … I have to … disassociate in order to survive. Sigh.

Unregulated capitalism at its finest. Shareholders are the most important. Humans are not.

Rising up the ladder and seeing the people above me confidently make decisions with very little idea what they are doing made me comfortable with staying in the dev level for the rest of my foreseeable career

As a laid off autistic, yes. I think it’s also demoralizing to have to work in corporate at all, attempting to solve superficial problems that only the most shallow among us care about, while the world is is coming apart at the seams, but most people can’t afford to focus on solving problems that actually matter.

If you’re an amazing politician you’ll soar in corporate America. Most of us are not, thus the problem.

It's the lack of autonomy and the needing to fix their mistakes and work late when I already warned them and did it right the first time and was told to keep everything like last period and not make changes. I ended up seeing red I got so angry eventually and then quit.

Im so sick and tired of corporate. I used to be a high achiever but not anymore. We all still getting paid the same on my team and I’m doing the very bare minimum now. Just learn to be a good talker and know who to get buy in from and how to present your case. That’s all it is

Seems like those who are less neurotic, care less, or oblivious to others succeed more.

Absolutely on point. These individuals need a bridge from their corporate career to an independent one.

The job of holding onto the job becomes unbearable once incompetant people start to sense that you could swim laps around them in their narrow little lanes.

oh i know its not my fault and im just not going to participate at a high level ever again, hit that wall too many times. i move up and hit the wall and then i move out because i WONT do the bs when im good at the thing i actually do. just need a comfy spot to ride out until i die on some tile floor at this point. its a cultural thing, everyone is invested in it, its ingrained in personalities there's no escaping it. we are lost as a people. chase that carrot, have fun.
