Haha, not in the codebase I was working in at the time. Paddings being manipulated programmatically all over the place.

Also, what a clear signal the CEO is not focusing on what matters. This was during the time the Cambridge Analytica thing broke... There's really nothing more important that needed his attention?

Maybe he needed something to direct his stress into and distract himself. I'm not saying what he did was right, BTW.

That was kind of my read too. Focus on the small things you can control to make up for the loss of control over the big things.

I just didn't like to be on the receiving end of his coping strategy.

That's a very fair need. Hope your life turns out better than you ever hope it to be.
