This guy wouldn’t use an S to pluralize “e-mail”. The UK school system didn’t leave children behind.
I just love waking up to a flurry of emails from my boss frantically asking me to do basic tasks. It’s how I know I’m a valued team member! And I do this for less and less every year due to the fact the raises are never high enough to counter inflation.
They keep telling me I’ll be rich soon, guys! Oh man, I wish I were kidding…
I think I actually did.
I always got told I could do whatever I wanted and didn’t know what I wanted to do. But I figured I didn’t want to do anything manual into old age so ruled that out. I knew I wanted to do a lot of different things and work with different people. But talking can be difficult.
Emails and working together with lots of other people and working on problem is great. Wearing a suit and making big decision seemed really interesting.
Work in general sucks but it beats the alternatives. Everyone on this website comes across as somewhat autistic. Dealing with people isn’t the end of the world.
Getting paid 130k+ a year is a pretty good life for writing emails.
I wished to sit in an open plan office where everyone could see me scratch my ass while all conversation and meetings were done via Slack and Zoom, even if we were next to each other.
At least on slack there is a searchable archive created from the interaction.
Sure, but we would literally be right next to each other and just talk via Slack. It was stupid.
I am the kind of neurodivergent where I really need that kind of built in organization, so from all of us megADHD folks out there we really appreciate your patience.
I essentially quit the programming profession because of fucking open office plans. Just an absolute nightmare as far as actual productive coding environments are concerned.
Modern “open plan” offices with hot desking bullshit are not designed for neurodivergent people which are generally drawn to programming.
