Nah, I get it. I'm much the same way - I don't do things half assed - just not made that way.

That said, I'm also not going to eat the corporate brainwashing gruel. The higher up you go the more you see people just flat accept stupid corporate decisions as 'enlightened' and they heavily adopt the corporate lexicon. Who needs a critical eye when you fit in?

Fuck that noise.

While I realize there are rules, structures, and culture in place. They shouldn't hinder people. IDGAF about how someone does something as long as the product is technically sound, reads like Tolstoy, and was efficiently created.

I work a shit ton of OT, but I get paid 1.5x or 2x based on circumstances for that extra time

I deliver the same quality of work on ST and OT—my best, but I would never work unpaid OT (e.g. some of my salaried engineers have been living at the job during our system upgrades) or do things well beyond the scope of my job.

Fuck that
