tl;dr Blind has some real sh*tlords who throw those of good-will (the OP, usually) under the moral bus, under the guise of righteousness, all for their own selfish preservation of their personal warped idealism. It’s boring, predictable, and gross. — I’m just sharing an idea that’s been bouncing in my head the last few days. There’s a phenomena on blind where an OP will make a topic about a workplace people problem. Any problem. An example: “co-worker is toxic and passive aggressive in standup towards me, but nobody else. What can I do to fix this?” Typically the OP has already expressed their good will to solve the problem on their end. This is a clear indication OP is decidedly *not* the problem. And yet I’ve noticed a lot of Blind responders are terrible people. These particular posters are predatory in their responses, devouring OP’s obvious good will, in a desperate attempt to preserve their inaccurate model for the world. I will elaborate. Everyone has a mental model for how the world works. Like a world view. The model approximates reality in a simplified and efficient way, and makes the world seem predictable. These models are extremely valuable, as they are necessary for basic daily functions without getting lost in reality’s infinite complexities. Re-evaluating a model is extremely costly and takes great effort. These Blind posters seem to pop into threads (like my example thread) with the intent of shutting down OP on some moral basis, by blaming OP for participating in a toxic relationship. It seems to be completely impossible, in their model, for someone to act in a genuine and professional matter, and *still* end up in a toxic relationship. This smacks of rampant idealism that has yet to be properly challenged by basic reality. Their goal is to crush opposition to their idealism in a brutal, and poorly thought out, manner, all in order to preserve their inaccurate idealism. Here is the pattern: OP states their view of the problem, typically in quality or description without getting into the weeds. Evil blind posters come along and pose a seemingly innocent question of “what specifically happened?” OP gives some details, but it’s a trap, and OP is already doomed to a banal response. And it always comes. Blind posters attacks OP and interprets the details of the scenario in the most untruthful and misconstrued manner possible, all in order to hoist OP under the moral bus. It’s really quite gross, and predictable. In summary, their lack of experience and integration of said experience leads to an inaccurate world view. Instead of taking the due diligence to adjust, they accost others in an attempt to force people to abide their own warped principles in a totalitarian manner. Personally I find this kind of behavior abhorrent. In any relationship both parties have some degree of free will, and if one person is toxic it spoils the entire relationship, even if the other is rather virtuous. Pretty much I’m telling you lazy Blind posters who fly the guise of moral comprehension are some low life scum. And tech is filled with you goons! I know who you are, and people like me can see through your facade, and judge you harshly. In the end the utter lack of due diligence will lock opportunities out of your life, and you will suffer the more of it.
Just letting you know that I'm not reading that wall of text
Ok
You lost me after the second sentence. Put me straight to sleep.
Also I noticed the worst offenders are at Uber. What kind of sh*t show is going over there anyways
Agreed whole heatedly. But from my observations this usually comes from Mi¢rosoft.
Yes I’ve seen them as fairly common too. But there’s so many more people at MS in general, so the high frequency at Uber is dramatic
TL DR. Please summarize rant.
One sec. will add tl dr to end
