@Stahesh said it best.

If Baron Bagel was in charge I'd have a secret society for intelligent people who don't get caught up in nonsensical race/gender/localist arguments.

Personally, the only use I found for project/middle managers are:
- They can find someone for me in the company that I don't know but need to talk to
- They go into useless meetings that I would otherwise have to attend
- When someone is trying to push an unrelated task to me or my team, I always direct them to discuss it in a meeting with the manager
So, basically, it's like an intern I don't have to train

@basedbagel @Stahesh
i solved that entire situation by being a contractor, depending on the area you can even have your own small business.
That means I get hired to actually work and do the hard part or try to fix the shitstorm after it hits the fan. I never get to coast along though - so it's a trade-off.

Many "colleagues" can't do that because they either need a monthly stable income, are scared of being unemployed or negotiating high rates or are ok with just doing the bare minimum daily.

Lol that shirt is TOO accurate.

The reason is that A players hire A players and b players hire c players.

A players are expensive and are more likely to leave. Also companies ❤️ hooking up their B-/C player buddies with a job.

After all who wants to spend 8 hrs working w/ folks you dislike?

These B/C players promote people dumber than them not to threaten their position and join up their C/D- player buddies.

And thats how you end up with this toxic mess we have today

3. No matter how intelligent, productive l, and diligent you are they WILL promote some DEI bitch over you. (In my field it's not so much racially biased but they LOVE pushing females)

I always thought it was just me until I started my business and cut my workday by 1/3 and got just as much work done without braindead middle management on my dick.

It's unacceptable that I had an easier time starting a business than getting an ENTRY level job

Getting replaced isn't my issue.

It's the misaligned workplace incentives are.

1. Higher ups will actively sabotage you and refuse to promote you if you're good at your job because they feel threatened.

2. Companies will not give raises commensurate with inflation so you have to job hop to get a raise even if you like the company▶️
