Work culture in around the world is fucked. We all know we're essentially pushing a rock from one side of the room to the other, all so some guy can have multiple homes and a private sexual abuse island. That Guys best friend also gets to be president, while I have to make a schedule to show my bosses work is being done... Like what? Can't I just do the work and you verify with your own two eyes? No, if it's not on the schedule that some middle manager only sees but never verifies if it got done, it's the same as not doing it.
Interviews are two way. Prioritise finding a good boss, it really helps when it turns out the wider work environment is shit
Yup. At my job it's fairly common for annoying "urgent" requests to come in late afternoon on Fridays. Often from some of the upper management folks who do very little work. They finally realize "whoops, the weekend is almost here!" They suddenly want to check a box somewhere to make it look like they actually did something this week. And, of course, the requests are always a hand-off to someone in my department to do the actual work (which the requestor will take full credit for after we close the ticket).
