My CV looks something like:
Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.
They're not trying to get attention. They're trying to express their natural instinctive behaviours, and are being prevented by your violence and cruelty.
That's why he was a director of IT before the chickens, lol
Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.
I mean... I've dealt with plenty of AppSec, Development, and IT directors, and I'd say about half of them treated us like chickens. "Once they stop laying, slaughter 'em"
Glad you got out while you still could!
