Fortunately all the comments are dunking on this guy.
Fast forward 3.5 hours to his local Starbucks
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE OUT OF SOY MILK LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
"YOU KNOW WHERE ELSE THERES NO SOY MILK? CONCENTRATION CAMPS, YOU NAZI!"
If only everyone else would agree with him and do exactly what he says at all times immediately, we wouldn't have problems like this. He specifically told them how unreasonable it is that they're out of soy milk. Several times.
"The Nazis had pieces of flair! They made the Jews wear em!"
So I'm living in a concentration camp?
EVEN THE INMATES WEREN'T FORCED TO HAVE REGULAR MILK! FACT!
Dear [x,y,z] snowflakes
I like it when people let you know right off the bat that they're a shitty person who's about to say something stupid.
I help teams make games
So in other words he’s a useless parasite that hasn’t written a line of code in his life and likely champions in app purchases and cutting features. He’s a bob from office space
So one day, the build was broken. The guy that was running the project freaked the fuck out. He said the client needed to have a nightly build or really bad things would happen.
Now, to manually produce a build of this project was an intense undertaking. It usually ran overnight and it was a long, fiddly process that took several hours. I proposed to him that I just fix the builder instead, and they'd get a build tomorrow. No, he said. It has to be today.
I spent the entire goddamned day making a new build. Finally, at the end of the day, I got a build. We could give it to the client.
He said, good news, I got you some extra time. I told the client we've got some new features we really want to show you, and they'll be in tomorrow's build.
You can see where this is going.
Four days in a row this happened. Four days of making a new build by hand, never with the time or permission to just fix the builder. The client never received the build they kept getting promised, because there were always new features waiting, tantalizingly close, that they absolutely had to witness for themselves. But alas, these features had just been implemented, brand new, and we had to make a build that would include them. Tomorrow. It was always just in the works, tomorrow. And yet... tomorrow, when everyone came in, the build was broken! This was a surprise to no one, except the guy running the project. He seemed genuinely not to grasp the idea that if no one fixed the autobuilder, the autobuilder would continue not working. He lived in a perpetual state of fear and anxiety, driven to wild agony by the prospect of an unhappy client. I wasn't privy to the conversations, but I suspect the client was genuinely unhappy with whatever he was telling them. I have no idea.
Finally, on the fourth day, I happened to talk with one of the higher-ups, and filled him in one what was going on on my project. His conversation about it with me was fairly brief, but it was fairly clear that he wasn't happy.
Within a few minutes, I was officially told that I had permission to take some time to fix the autobuilder. Oh joyous day it was.
Once the project was over, there was a very, very short delay before the guy who'd been running the project had been offered an exciting new opportunity at some other company and we all wished him the best.

Must be nice to be so privileged he can be a complete fuckup and not even get fired for it. Everybody agrees to use euphemisms to not hurt his feefees because he's just too rich and special to have to be embarrassed.
I mean, generally speaking, I do think it's better not to publicly humiliate anyone if you can avoid it. The fact that some people think this doesn't apply to "underlings" doesn't make it any less true as a general rule.
Yeah, I left my last company after almost the entire dev team was poached. And a coworker of mine who moved to a much better position at a much better company got me an interview to run their mobile app team. And it was a no-brainer to take the offer. But I never burned bridges. I spent my last two weeks documenting all the things I had built that were living inside my head. And 6 months later the CEO of my previous company sent me a video begging me to come back, with a “name your price” salary to be director of engineering. I could have taken it for more money, but it was an ad agency, and incredibly stressful. So I kindly turned down the offer in person because burning bridges is just never a good idea
This comment triggered my project milestone PTSD
To be fair there's a lot of people working on any software project that are not directly involved, but whose work is essential for the project to succeed. For all we know, this insensitive brick could be anyone from a janitor to a project manager or an automation engineer working with their internal infrastructure.
There's a ton of people in the software business who have never written a line of code, that are essential. It's not any kind of measure on how leech you are, but your message shows well how high you're sitting on your coding throne with inbuilt toilet
Oh I think that’s absolutely true and that many pieces of the puzzle are necessary to make software. I also think it’s disingenuous to call game devs “snowflakes” because their industry is tough, their post demonstrates that this person isn’t worried about how they’ll pay their rent if they lose their job
Yeah I agree the person in op is a brick, just got a feeling from your message that you wouldn't have respect for non-coders working on a project
What the job title "executive [job]" does to a mf /s
Could also just be a (bad) producer tbh
Definitely doesn't have to worry about money, this guy.
"It's just a job, Michael. How long could it possibly take to find a new one? Ten minutes?"
Go see a star war

«il suffit de traverser la rue!» (you just gotta walk across the street!) is the trendy joke in France since one of our elected morons uttered it.
I never really understood the whole "sending hundreds of resumes" thing, so I don't think it's quite the end of the world if you have any skills, but these people are demented, thinking it's that easy. Clearly never lost a job or known involuntary unemployment.
I like the part where he thinks just because he's willing to eat shit for breakfast that everyone else should take a bite.
That's such a long way of saying: "Only the person who's currently suffering the worst is allowed to complain, the rest have to shut up."
I guess it has to be that long to hide how dumb it is.
For the record, this guy seems to be based somewhere in Europe and at worst he'd get government subsidies for minimum wage-ish amounts for a year, at best semi-indefinite support while he seeks new employment based on his previous income level.
If this teaches you something besides "don't make or read posts in LinkedIn under any circumstances" is that a sensible safety net really enables you to recover from shitty situations and everybody should have access to that. Because if you don't, then you DO deserve better.
LinkedIn is incredibly cringe. It's weird that there are real people posting this. And I know they are real, because they did this long before AI.
It's "Facebook for jobs", after all, no wonder it's such a pile of hot garbage
Yeah it's like people posing, very cringe.
The people without a job are on the job website... This guy has wayyy too many screws loose
Aww come on, don’t hide his name!
A lot of times people who spread hate benefit from the attention they get, positive or negative. I censored it because of that, not to protect them.
"No such thing as bad publicity", or whatever it is that they say. Good call
Like that YouTuber vegan guy, he literally made millions pissing people off.
Who?
Vegan Gains, mocks children with cancer and really anyone who gets sick and isn't vegan. Tried to fight people at in person events and is generally just an awful person.
You can find him by typing the first line of his post into a search engine.
Unsurprisingly, he has a Jordan Peterson credential listed on his profile
Jordan Peterson has a credential program?
That was my reaction as well upon seeing this post lmao
How do you know they're male?
These always sound so 'Oh you're suffering? Not like I've suffered. If I didn't receive support when I was suffering, then everyone else should suck it up like I was forced to'
'I help teams make games'
Just pulling this out of my ass, but that tagline sounds like he's unemployed and trying to break into the game industry as a temp or contract.
This is why he's upset, he hasn't even been able to break into the industry and here are all these people complaining about losing what he desperately wants for himself. Why should they get sympathy when they're still in an objectively better position to get a job at another company than he'll ever be?
He has actually worked in the industry according to his LinkedIn. Hopefully not anymore.
Or you know... Could be total BS.
In other words: "You showing sadness or despair is making me feel bad so I demand you to stop. My feelings and convenience is more important than yours. I am totally not a narcissist"
Don't you just love abusive employers? /s

Poors need to stop being poor... So annoying
