- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I just got yelled at for being proactive at work and working on stuff in my downtime to complete something before our estimate and improve our product. Apparently that's a big no-no. You're not supposed to ever finish before the estimate you give nor finish past the estimate. You must work the exact amount of time that was estimated. This wasn't even my estimate. I have a much faster estimate and my boss basically doubled it, which I was like fine, sure, but I'm getting blamed for the estimate being so long now.
I'm so done with my job. If the job market weren't a literal dumpster fire right now I'd just leave. I just set my LinkedIn to "Open to Work". Sorry I have a good work ethic. Corporate politics is utter bullshit. I guess the lesson learned is don't ever tell anyone you are being proactive. Finish the work, and then literally do fuck all, and fuck off to wherever while you pretend you are working until the estimate date is reached.
