Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Worked in IT for over a decade, lawyers are the fucking. worst.
I was married to a lawyer for years. They have to bill somewhere from 1700-2200 hours a year to stay on partner track. And they can't bill every hour that they're working (although they can double up sometimes by using the minimum 2/10ths of an hour). My sympathy is with the lawyer. It's not a power dynamic, it's how the firm makes money and what you're there to do.
Yeah, because being a raging asshole to your coworkers is justified as long as it helps you "stay on partner track."
Abusive people always find justifications for it.
"Look guys, their industry makes their boss abusive to them which makes them abusive to their staff, so it's just how it is because money..."
This is like "Well my drunk granddad had anger issues after the war so he beat my dad who beat me something fierce and I turned out fine " of the professional world.
Some people think enough money or status is worth disrespecting other human beings who are just trying to do their already shitty enough job, and that's concerning.
I.T has to hit their "ticket targets" to stay on the "lights come on when they flip the switch at home" track, it's how they make their money and what they're paid to do.
Playing coddling psychologist for grown adults who could pass a bar exam but can't handle basic respect doesn't make things any easier lol.
To any of those types reading this:
Stressed or not, it's amazing how fast things move when you work with IT as teammates instead of underlings, using your level brain instead of your emotionally unstable mouth.
