"what does the engineers salary have to do with anything"
The engineers salary (actually total compensation, not salary) was quoted in the article.
"An engineer with a reported total compensation, or TC, of $400,000 a year griped about the responsibility of having to do a once-a-month delivery. “What the actual f—k?” the engineer wrote on the platform. “I didn’t sign up for this, there was nothing in the offer letter/job description about this.”"
I am suggesting that if you make $400,000 a year, one minor inconvenience a month by actually using the product you are working on really isn't something you should complain about.
It's not exactly anything. It's actually using the product they are developing. Is that really so crazy?
While not exactly the same, we were responsible for developing an in-house app used by our retail employees. Every single engineer working on the app would every so often shadow one of these employees to see firsthand how it was being used in the real world.
Yeah, and they can quit and work somewhere else that’ll pay them just as well if they don’t like it. They’re not being asked to scrub toilets, they’re being asked to exercise the company’s product. The thing that pays their salary.
Let’s see how many actually quit over this. My guess is few to none.
