dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

No shade to any comrades here in that role. I'm just venting because 1) I hate my job and am officially "quiet quitting," and 2) I've sent out over 120 job applications today and I'm fuckign tired.

I concur very much. Can't even describe how jealous I am that my team lead just quit, I wish it was me. Now I have to take his role at basically the busiest time on the project, fucking hell

Godspeed comrade kim-salute

I got asked by my immediate boss this morning what I do all day. I think they're probably trying to figure out how to let me go without completely fucking themselves out of stalling ALL American projects, since I'm the only stateside specialist in this application (that I have no clue how to work since there was never formal training, and every clients needs are different).

Jokes on them I'm the biggest time thief at the company.

Gotta love that kind of question. It's like, shouldn't they be aware of what you do? It says more about them if they don't know!

I mean I think its more of an 'I expected this Tobe further along' sorta thing, but yeah. I shut it down with a simple "things take time."

I have seen lot's of fail sons and fail daughters end up in the PM role. If you dig into their past, they have an ivy league degree, come from money, are connected to an investor/shareholder in some weird way, and are totally incompetent.

That said, I've also worked with some really good PMs that made my job as a programmer/capitalist task master (manager of programmers) easier.

edit: Just realized OP is referencing Project Manager, not Product. Although, after 10 years in this industry I still don't understand the difference.

Being a PM type role, I feel constantly pressured to show I am not one of the worthless ones. People go in assuming you are an asshole useless empty suit and it takes so much work to build a reputation you are not every time you move groups or teams.

/SMH

I hate loving what I do, but knowing I am surrounded by people failing to serve the people we say we exist to serve.
