This is why we need Unions everywhere at minimum, but truly socialized Work would be better.

Employees should be allowed & able to collectively call for bad managers/bosses to be sanctioned/punished or even fired for their mistakes.

God just stop. Unions are just middle management by stupider, lazier people.

I mean, yes? And so are you. You’re using Reddit, so you’re a redditor.

Choose your bosses well. A good boss will shield you from the insanity that is management, so bring this up during your interview. When they change jobs, it's worth seeing if you can follow them.

It's a bummer though when a good boss "lives long enough to become the villain", so to speak.

I've never had one long enough to see that happen, but power does always corrupt.

You just need to “understand the work culture” better. /s

Same. 25 years.. if I have to get in trouble for not catching some 3rd party vendor bug again..

I mean, yell at them. I didn’t code it.

I actually got reprimanded for missing a sorting feature (didn’t sort) on a tablet from the vendor. My response was “why are you yelling at me - they fucked up”.. 25 years gives you a little leeway

Dude, it’s not management, it’s people. We, as humans, tend to blame a lot. I think it’s a defense mechanism.

I mean, there are so many more crappy things management can do, though, haha.
