What’s the odds on Farley having a job at this time next year?

As an engineer, its hilarious how we always bear the brunt of layoffs, and then quality falls into a hole after 3 years (or time tables, or keeping up with the market, whatever), and then they bring engineers back. No one in management looks 2 seconds into the future. They only look at next quarters profit margins.

Our entire economy is run by institutional investors drunk on short-term profits. Like, ten billion in profit? That’s pretty good, man. You can fix a lot of problems with ten billion dollars.

Being a douche running a company is not the answer. We’ve already got that, Tesla.

Oh yeah, “product guys” always start by laying off engineers. Also a great way to improve quality. Sure.

the strength of our products and revenue has masked this dysfunctionality for a long time.

Welp that’s a mistake. the ONE THING you don’t want to do is piss off engineers when the real issue is likely mismanagement.

Maybe the problem isn’t having too many engineers, but having too many executives with unrealistic ideas about their ability to predict the future.

The problem probably isn’t the engineers, but rather all of the different management teams who give the engineers ridiculous, conflicting directions and requirements.

No they want the reservation which they can sell at a profit.

You just gave some coal rolling douche a sudden feeling of exhaust pipe envy.

There’s side exhaust, and then there is SIDE EXHAUST

Because ChIrAq, right? You goddam goober.

The 88 in his name might have done that for us already.

why would it?

Yeah... Because Chicago is totally the same thing as Sinaloa Mexico. 🙄

But where are the fake adds? 

I wouldn’t say the wages are below average as the Lafayette/ West Lafayette area is home to Purdue University. McDonald’s definately is not paying over $20 an hour though!

But, as the article shows, McD doesn’t actually pay more than a car factory.

So deleting comments that expose the hit piece are “ok”
