Man, it's so frustrating. I just can't turn off my own qualms with shitty corporate culture and it means I will be less successful by the metrics we've set ourselves.

It’s ironic how so many of us find ourselves being extremely valuable for the exact reasons they can’t stand us. As IT, I’m used to being seen as nothing more than red marks on a budget to the folks making decisions. The only thing they hate more than listening to us, is when they have to.

Kinda got a chip on my shoulder today it seems.
