Is it the norm, that most of the work someone does in IT is managment overhead for a project that is somehow still mismanaged? Is everyone just acting incompetent to get paid money to be useless, or are most people actually incompetent and dont know it?I am just 23, got interested in coding at 13, went to a good hs, then top uni in my shitty eastern european country and have now been working as a programmer for 3 years. Except for a few autists I know, 95% of my classmates or colleagues were either frauds, retarded or both.I am not sharing details, but due to what the company I work for does, I had the displeasure of working with several teams from several different companies and it all feels fake. Nothing ever got done, deadlines for everything are absurdly long and are always missed anyway. In three years there was not one interesting thing to be done, not one thing requiring a neuron activation to get done.I am not saying I am entitled to fun or a fullfilling job. But I am so fucking dissappointed. Is there truly no place to make useful tech? Am I really supposed to sit 8 hours in an office and just pretend, so I make money to spend on consuming?>inb4 newfag>inb4 how do I unsubscribe

well if you dont like your job at boomercorp maybe try looking into more interesting companies? I'm sure someone out there is doing cool stuff and not just staffing a bunch of useless people, just make sure your ego is ready when you're suddenly not the smartest guy in the room
>>109439861yep that's the norm it's nepo af and unethically lazy inefficient to the max
>>109439861There's usually whole layer of middle managers between the head of IT and the workers on the bottom who actually do the work, and because of that nothing gets communicated properly. Everyone kisses whoever's ass is higher up the chain in hopes of getting promoted and the people on top never really know what is happening day to day.
>>109439861You simply haven't reached the stage of >pretendyet. Everyone is pretending to be retarded to avoid extra work and those who aren't, well they're just that. I work about 15hours real, actual work in a given week, the rest of the time i spend on my side business or open source projects to further my CV.Point is, we haven't reached idiocracy, we just never left 1999.
>>109439861We are living in a dying society and there is no turning this ship around.
>>109439861>Except for a few autists I know, 95% of my classmates or colleagues were either frauds, retarded or both.That's most of the industry.
