When things go right: "WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR?!?"

When things go wrong: "WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR?!?"

The secret to a healthy career in IT is to let things break just a little every once in a while. Nothing so bad as to cause serious problems. But just enough to remind people that you exist and their world would come crumbling down without you.

I get really fucking tired of justifying work. Like, I have delivered every single project I've ever been given ahead of schedule. But every time a new project comes up, higher level managers want all these update meetings to check up on the status, discuss risk factors that might prevent it from being delivered, and a bunch of other bullshit. You're the risk factor, motherfucker, you and your meetings. Get the fuck out of my way and I'll deliver it ahead of schedule just like literally every other project I've ever been in charge of. Quit feeling that you need to be involved! You don't. You're a road block that provides no value. Ugh!

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.
