It's like... I work with cool people, and I definitely respect everyone. I like my role. It's a company with a decent product, a strong user base, and a lot of potential. But. Basically all the company resources get thrown into magic bullet iniatives that are usually doomed to fail because they're ass backwards (they almost all start out as "wouldn't it be convenient if people would pay us money for x," with no thought if our users or anyone else cares about X, let alone cares enough to pay money for it.) Meanwhile, there's a bunch of stuff our users would climb over mountains to throw money at us for. No one thing would solve our problems, but the sum total might. But we never do those things, because all our resources are tied up in the magic bullet project de jour. It's just very frustrating and boring. So I hate my job, but not enough to feel apathetic about it or to be like "screw these guys" Anyone else in the same boat?
I love getting paid a relative shitload of money (~400TC) for relatively easy work. I remember working for years at fast food during high school for peanuts... then again in college working retail. What I’m doing now is a god damn dream. I’d take internal politics, process inefficiencies, and bad feature planning over getting yelled at by Old Man Ezekiel because his fries were too cold (you ate them last you old kook - they came off of the fryer and right onto your tray).
