      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
