Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I don't blame you at all. I've worked at a place that have sucked my life force away like yours. The saying "no good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind. Patching servers and fixing infrastructure issues gets rewarded with getting blamed for any server or app issue going forward and then fixing said issues on top of your current workload. Getting out of that hell hole was one of the best decisions I've made.

    Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Unfortunately, every IT job where I live is more or less like this. Sure, there are some that are not, but are not a whole lot better paid than what I currently make... and because of certain life decusions I've made, I currently can't move or work abroad. In 10+ years from now... maybe... we'll see... I hope so. So, basically, I'm more or less stuck here with this job. I could quit and find something else, but my current budget doesn't allow to go even for a month with no pay... so if I do, it'll have to be a quit today - hire tomorrow kind of a thing, which most companies around here don't do (they wanna squeeze as much free labour out of you as possible, so even if they don't go full pay for a month or two, that's a win in their book), so... again, not really an option currently.
