Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah, firefighter mentalities are terrible.

That said, as someone in software development, wouldn't there be some optimization work you could do? Keeping up with the technology? Preparing training material? Figuring out the next steps for the next improvements to be done to the system? Looking at solutions to better monitor what is going on? Scripts to automate tasks?

I find it hard to believe that things are so static.

Absolutely! Those things are known to management as, variously, "wasting time," "spending all day surfing the internet," "submitting frivolous RFQ's," and heaven forbid if you want to attend training or a trade show, "accruing unnecessary travel expenses."

Improvements/Maintenance is no ones KPI. I'm kind of baffled by this.

you made the criminal mistake of this not being a ticketed item, and for that, you get banished to hell
