Tonight I was out to dinner and started talking to a random person sitting next to me. Turns out he’s a senior engineer at a non-Shitshow company. Turns out he worked there for about 20 years. We talked about his work for a little bit and to my surprise he talked about it fondly. Not only did he like his company, he only had high praises for all of his coworkers. He then asked what I did and I told him I worked at the Shitshow, he laughed. He then explained why he was laughing.
Many years ago his department was hiring a lot of engineers. His company decided to try to partner with a Shitshow to help with short term engineering needs so he ended up interviewing about 100 people form the Shitshow. After the interviews the HR representative asked him what he thought and he responded "I am now scared to death to fly in any product that the Shitshow builds or has anything to do with." He could not believe the amount of incompetence he saw during those interviews. Needless to say the company he worked at quickly dissolved the partnership.
Because even at dinner while talking to a stranger I’m reminded that I’m surrounded by idiots, I throw rocks.
