Big part of me clearly knows there is no such thing as a binary right and wrong in life, yet.. this is a crystal clear example somehow — and not the only one.
My boss is having his wedding tomorrow. He was supposed to start his vacation earlier this week. He definitely showed up to meetings I GUARANTEE he didn't need to be in on the first day he was supposed to be gone. Man, we've been here longer than you. We can handle it. You're awesome, but don't let upper management bully you. Us senior devs sure don't. Fuck em.
That's crazy to me. Our manager went out on a boat last week on Friday, and we haven't heard shit from him since. Hell, we'd probably tattle on him to our skip level if we did because our skip would be furious to hear people are working during vacation. I'm a software engineer in the US, and unfortunately stories like yours are all too common here :/
