Read The Art of War and get ahead of the curve. Be the warlord you want to see.

Pretty based of you to admit.

Yeah it’s going to wild I can already tell. I know your right to as it’s only a small company I work for, less than 10 of us and they all complain about stupid things the clients do.

I have a colleague who is the contact for a dude that takes a picture of a site with his phone, so he photographs the monitor. Which I know isn’t that unusual, but wait.

He then emails this to himself, perhaps to have it on his desktop. Proceeds to print off the image, but not just the image, but the image as it appears in the email. THE ACTUAL EMAIL.

Then he will annotate the printout and I shit you not, will take another photo, but this time of the printout. Inception level shit.

He then sends that in by carrier pigeon email.

We don’t do agile, my boss usually keeps it all in his head and I have to pry it out of him what he wants done.

Also, I think you dropped this “a” from one of your words. Hehe

So much this.

I’m in my first professional role and the first project was completed and aside from my boss I was the only other dev. So I was naturally excited for their (clients) feedback on it.

Well fast forward a couple of months where they really didn’t interact with the application much and then came the queries and then not understanding how to use it. Find boss sets aside 10 days for me to write some documentation with screenshots of all the journeys (free of charge).

Again, tumbleweeds. Then all of a sudden it’s boom emails a plenty.

Can you fix this, this is a major bug kinda emails. Like it isn’t a bug, you don’t know how to use it.

Now we are dumbing down the software to make it more align with what the business is used to, which is fine but even my boss has said (as I over think and want to reply to things instantly) that just because they have come to life doesn’t mean we drop everything else to tend to them now.

If you need help, shout me.

Yet when I have debates in work my colleagues are like but people now are richer than ever.

Also, every job I’ve had until my current one has been customer service. Either facing or over the phone. Should have taken that bet.

I’m not stealing food from Uber eats bro. I’m talking orders from Amazon and claiming they sent an inferior item.

Edit: also I ain’t ever ordering Uber Eats. Paying double for someone to bring me soggy food.

The napkins thing is a thing at McD near me.

You have to stand there and wait for about five minutes to flag down a member of staff (they’re all in the back now due to the self serve kiosks). The same for sauces. Which to me says that my time is meaningless to them. They don’t trust us to not take too many but they’re also too lazy to put some in every customers bag.

I will no longer eat there due to this and the crazy prices for the same mediocre food.

Fucking ghouls. Yet we have debates at work all the time and I’m seen as some weirdo for not wanting to be fleeced by every company on the planet.

Be like me and steal what you can from these companies. Commit delivery fraud (item never arrived when it did). Raise chargebacks etc. take what you can as that’s what they’re doing. Just don’t do it to sole businesses.

Which is why I appreciate you going out of your way to provide an alternative, less ad infested, article. Oh wait you didn’t do that.

You’re fake!

You’ve got this bro.

Getting my first role was the hardest thing I’ve done and a little soul destroying. So much so that after the first bootcamp and many rejections I did another bootcamp and then loads more interviews.

I suck at interviewing as I have ADHD and I’ll either be too open and honest or I’ll just clam up and seem like an idiot. The more you do it the easier it gets.

If I can get a role, then anybody can.

Thanks. Yea I have seen Mr Robot, just couldn’t recall his particular condition.

I can’t even imagine what that’s like to live with.

Thanks.

Huh… never heard of that show but I’ll be watching it now.

Thanks.

As others have said, Silicon Valley and Mr Robot were pretty close for my area of work.

DID?

a heretic.
