        Don’t underestimate the pride of people who make poor decisions and how much it hurts them when a rookie spots them

        Careful, uncovering truth might put management in a bad light.

        Example from my life:

        Me: Boss, the production database has had 2 failed drives for over 6 months, if we lose another our whole operation is cooked

        Boss: If it hasn’t failed yet, it can wait another 2 weeks

        Me: It cannot

        Boss: I’m not signing a PO

        Me: Goes to Boss’s Boss We are one hard drive away from losing the business, please sign this PO

        Boss’s Boss: signs quickly How long has this been going on?

        Me: At least since October


        2 days later:

        Boss: You are being dismissed due to insubordination

        Me: I literally saved your company

        Boss’s Boss: Sorry my hands are tied

        Fuck corporate America for what they do to us on an hourly basis
