I believe that Ive lost 2 maybe 3 jobs because of this
what? i thought it was nice to always ask why? thats crazy
Because of not being an idiot? Great. /for all morons, this is obviously cynical sarcasm.
Don't underestimate the pride of people who make poor decisions and how much it hurts them when a rookie spots them
Careful, uncovering truth might put management in a bad light.
Example from my life:
Me: Boss, the production database has had 2 failed drives for over 6 months, if we lose another our whole operation is cooked
Boss: If it hasn't failed yet, it can wait another 2 weeks
Me: It cannot
Boss: I'm not signing a PO
Me: Goes to Boss's Boss We are one hard drive away from losing the business, please sign this PO
Boss's Boss: signs quickly How long has this been going on?
Me: At least since October
2 days later:
Boss: You are being dismissed due to insubordination
Me: I literally saved your company
Boss's Boss: Sorry my hands are tied
Fuck corporate America for what they do to us on an hourly basis
