I wonder if management has realized that they are the parasites that is holding the tech industry back all this time.

First lesson in management: Never admit responsibility.

If there's a problem, it's not your fault.

:-)

second step:
fire all devs
hire new devs
blame fired devs
tell investors problem solved
collect more funds

repeat

@IntrusionCM first lesson is this: honesty at any level at all, is never rewarded.

Past a certain point it is just expected to lie. It's not even malicious. Just people looking out for themselves.

If someone isnt prepared to accept and embrace this core truth, then the world will fucking eat them alive.

@Wisecrack I was kinda cynical.

It's really one of the first lessons people try to teach anyone in corporations...

I don't agree with it.

Same goes for what you wrote about honesty.

I don't agree with it either. :)

But yeah, most of these rules show that corp is just a nice word for "accumulation of human malignity".

@IntrusionCM iron law of oligarchy and all that.

People forget just because they have a companies best interests at heart from day 1 does not mean that the people already present do also.

Aliens could be invading the planet, and people would still be jockeying for control and rank among themselves, even at the expense of saving civilization.

@Wisecrack the last part made me chuckle.

Cause it's so true.
