Bullshit is a relative term, can you be a bit more specific? I've worked at large corporations where the structure doesn't lend itself to being very productive which causes a lot of headaches. One of the best examples was where the "business" side of a project I was working on was using waterfall and we (the dev team) were using Agile. Let that sink in for a minute. Neither team changed their methods and it was 8 months of madness until I finally quit. This was a company that was also famous for having "meetings about meetings" which wasted a lot of time during your day. I'm surprised I even lasted 8 months. The only other really frustrating place I worked at was a medium sized company where Jr. inherited the company from his dad and my boss (marketing manager) was best friends with the boss. We were in the midst of redesign and development of their current site. We butted heads all the time about the design. I have close to ten years of development and design experience and he had none. He was trying to make the site into a 1990's version of Yahoo's homepage. After a lot of back and forth, he finally emailed me and basically said, "I out rank you, we're doing it my way." and after that, I just didn't give a fuck. Whatever he wanted, I gave it to him. About three months later, I finally left after being there for almost two years. The hilarious thing is after I left, I saw they released what was an half completed design since they hired a .Net guy to replace me (the only guy with design experience) and he had no idea what to do with Photoshop files or any basic frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation. After seeing the site, I finally felt vindicated. |
