Other responses here are pretty great advice. I just want to add that feeling this way is pretty normal in our modern world.

Our society evolved much faster than our biology. This world isn't very satisfying with respect to the kinds of things our ancestors had to do I order to survive and be part of a group of other people. Most jobs feel unsatisfying because they are.

For example: it feels good to work a physically hard job in the same way exercise feels good, and yet physical work is often looked down upon as though there is no value in it (which is crap), and people who spend lots of time in a gym don't face that same stigma about sweating.

Install Emu Deck and it handles the rest for you in an intuitive GUI

Are you getting the music up there?

I would personally be inclined to take the meeting to better know how to counter their efforts.

I've been experiencing this on my comments too. I specifically kept my account open for now because I figured this might happen, and I want to be able to keep editing and deleting them.

The quality of the test environment isn't guaranteed though. I ran a production system that had a shell of a "test" environment with no data from prod. I repeatedly told the vendor testing in their "test" environment was worthless because without the prod data I had no real way to recreate so many of the situations that naturally came up for my users in the production software. The vendor refused to correct the problem, so I told them - with all the relevant managers present - to stop asking me to waste my time testing new releases when doing so was effectively useless.

I'd say it's kinda like having a "10-second" car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.

Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you've upset the engine's balance to the point where it's becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.

It's only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.

Wow. That's especially pathetic of the admins.

Do you mean we could have seen this trope a dozen times before?

I have a friend who tried to get me to join him and his online buddies on every new big multiplayer game. Out of the literally dozens he recommended to me, I bought maybe two, and those two have a great single player campaign.

I've always preferred single player games, and I feel like I don't waste money like I would on whatever the current hot MMO is. MMOs go stale or the community changes, and then you will probably never play it again. Single player games just largely don't go that way and are repayable.

In the USA, work culture means losing rights. Those of us that have pushed back against illegal behavior in the workplace are pretty quickly blackballed.

Trust me, we know workers have more rights in Europe. There's little-to-nothing we can do to enact those sorts of protections here. The rich have us by the throat.
