Congratulations. Enjoy being the exception.
If you focus on the shit, life will be shit. Focus on what's in your control. Maybe not a lot is, but the little things are. What time you go to bed, what you eat, how you spend the little free time you may have. Take control of that first, then build off of it. Step by baby step, you'll crawl out of the abyss, and remember that you aren't resigned to eating shit the rest of your life.
It's good advice. If you spin your wheels on things you have no control over, it's a waste of your time and energy. Focus on the things you enjoy, and the things you can change.
Think about it: How can JavaScript have so many innovations, yet practically no one has moved on from the scrum/kanban abomination in going on a decade? Perhaps more. Why
Every leader views his workers as replaceable feckless layabouts, front line managers are the designated whip-crackers with far too little actual power, middle managers are stressed out fear-driven creatures with both little real authority AND no whip to crack over the workers, and leaf-node workers are depressed tired cogs in a system that cares tremendously little about them and cares increasingly less about even pretending otherwise, especially post-layoffs.
And yet the software still needs to get written. I cope by just doing what I can, not trying to do anything the system doesn't support me in doing, and making as many friends as I can along the way. And putting my family first every single time.
