Good bot.

I'm an engineering manager, started from the bottom now I'm here. Really, went junior dev / qa - dev - senior - staff then software architect then technical manager. Management is as hard as coding, but in a different way. Just because someone is not smashing their mechanical keyboards 8 hours per day doesn't mean they're lazy.

Thanks for your perspective. My career has followed a similar trajectory to yours, albeit in a completely different industry.

I’m getting tired of the short sighted version of antiwork which says only the worker drones have merit.

Br*tish “people”

Why is “people” in quotes?

Let's put it this way then. All of management could take a month off, and very little would be affected. If all the workers go on strike for a month, not a single thing would get done.

Again, I disagree. Plenty would not happen if all of management disappeared, just like plenty would not happen if all of workers disappeared.

Look, I get it. We all hate managers and the C suite. But pretending like these roles are aren’t vital is detrimental.

The guys on the bottom do all of the work, even if there are a few people slacking off.

No, the guys on the bottom do much of the work. The guys on the top also do quite a bit of mission critical work, but in an entirely different venue.

Some on the bottom will slack off, just like some on the top will slack off.

To the guys at the top, it’s always the bottom folks who are lazy. To the guys on the bottom, it’s always the top folks who are lazy.

This is so exciting. The last time there was a major volcanic eruption in Europe, it shut down air travel for ages over there. Plus there was a cool and totally improbable scene in Walter Mitty about it.

requiring basic levels of karma most certainly is. You have to say the right things first to get the group approval before you can contribute.

Again, I disagree. You can say the “right things,” certainly, or you can say “neutral things.” Really anything short of overt hostility would be acceptable.

Requiring basic levels of karma or age is not “group think.”

Is that antisemitic? That's like saying Asians are smart or black guys have big dicks is racist. I mean sure but like "good racism".

There is no such thing as “good racism.”

There was and still is a shit ton of racism on Reddit, among other -ism hate.

People like to hate on groups they deem “other” or less than. r/Freespeech is stuffed to the gills with transphobia and homophobia, for example. Anyone else remember r/FatPeopleHate? r/The_Donald hasn’t been gone that long. etc etc etc.

I don’t think dark humor isn’t the same as “Reddit 2.0”

But in general, yeah, I’m with you.

Absolutely astounding. Memmy for Lemmy certainly lead the way for me. iOS app.
