Every now and then I almost convince myself that management decisions at the Shitshow aren’t as bad as I make them out to be, that perhaps I tend to exaggerate things. But every time I do, something like this happens.
A coworker of mine, who is actually half way descent, just returned from a 6 month leave of absence. Taking 6 months off isn’t that big of a deal, and I actually think it’s a good way to throw rocks if you can afford it. But what boggles my mind is the day he got back from his leave of absence he got a promotion. That’s right, taking ½ a year off, only adding cost to the Shitshow, lead to a promotion.
In the meantime I’m mentoring people 2 levels above me, doing a good portion of Queen Perfume’s work, babysitting “senior” engineers, and working over the holiday break and what do I get? Absolutely nothing!
Because the fastest way to the top is to take vacation, I throw rocks.
