  I wish factory jobs paid better. Many of them are chill and easy.

      Some are, yes. I’ve worked a number of different positions in a local factory and most of them weren’t a big deal.

      A few were rough, though, for sure. Can con-fucking-firm.

  Every interview: “oh great! You have a lot of manager experience! We’ve been looking for somebody with those skills!”

  Me: “I’m not really looking to be in charge of people. I find the generational differences too tiring. I can’t relate and I’m tired of having to tell children to put away their phones.”

  And within a year I’m a manager again. Just can’t seem to shake it. Which is why every damn job on my resume is manager. At least this time around I am managing things and not people. So a little better.

  I took it as a sign of pride that my junior engineers never wanted to be project managers while it is common for the industry because My staff understood the bullshit that comes with project management.

  I’m guessing this is a common thought or feeling for most in a dissonant corporate world.

  So uh…we are all clearly unhappy, is any of us going to do anything about this? (I already stated I am, some community idea).

  Except not that gross 24 corporate ladder thing. But I guess 18-2x I was studying web design and had aspirations of making the next big web 2.0 site, back when it was still popular to idolize Google.

  But by 24 I was already drinking the foss kool-aid and becoming jaded toward the tech industry.
