I wrote the SQL query in 5 mins. Why does my engineer say it will take a month?

Developers are also the ones that get yelled at, called on the weekends, and even fired if those cases happen.

If you're willing to come in on the weekend to fix your query, be my guest. But I like being able to spend my weekend relaxing.

Huh, where I work the managers are the ones who get fired for bad ops or oversights. The engineers are just penalized by dealing with shitty decisions so they dream about quitting. The smart ones just fulton out of shitty managers to good teams.

You most likely work for a company that hasn't yet been overrun by the corporate world's version of "career politicians" who are there to leech a paycheck at all costs.

They often blame others while finding very sneaky and specific ways to, despite all odds, rise to a relatively insulated level without any modicum of technical or managerial prowess

congrats!!!

It's likely the ship, drive more revenue or get fired culture that keeps people from settling in.
