I work in an environment that is actively hostile to us. We've got McAfee agents crippling our machines, IBM management software doing periodic forced reboots with no warning, MITM proxies decrypting and capturing all TLS traffic, self signed CAs with a misconfigured keychain on our machines and no access to fix it, random policy changes that screw with our browsers, web filters that prevent us from accessing common websites, netskope agents that crash multiple times a day, etc. I'm sure there are more. If there's a way to spy on us, our machines have it. Obviously, we can't install any unapproved software, so I am grateful for the built in tools MacOS provides. Of course, if you need to reach out to the internet, you've gotta do a dance with certificates and proxies...

I think about quitting a lot, but I am pretty numb to it. I'm sure it could be worse, too.
