Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I don't know why I still have a (banned) account, or why it's subscribed to EngineeringStudents, but look at this.

I know this is just another metastasis of wage labour, but I just feel contempt for these people. Like, your issue isn't with engineering being a shithead profession with nothing of value and just endless upsell! upsell! upsell! lie! lie! lie! bullshit! bullshit! bullshit! but instead you cry over not finding a job in this shitstorm. To be honest, I also feel contempt for my colleagues... probably for the same reason; because they enjoy mucking about in this pigsty too.

Okay, that's it for my unproductive and shitstirring thoughts for the day :)

They tend to do the bare minimum and push a huge amount of technical decision making onto the lower level drafters and designers

you've hit the nail on the head. was gonna add more to this but im gonna stick to my promise and shut up

We had one running things when I started where I'm at and thank God I was able to push them out. Just an absolutely awful person to work with and a Disney adult to boot.

I noticed that they kept presenting all my work as their own to the owners of the small company, so I started drafting up documention of my work for the owners and giving that to them, then telling that Engineer what I'd done.

Lo and behold, the owners come to me a day later asking why the Engineer was presenting something that I had shown them beforehand as their own work. Luckily they sided with me and I was allowed to challenge them on basically everything going forward and they were gone within a month.
