And that tactic does increase sales for Amazon, on average. Their endless split testing would have long proven that.

My post had nothing to do with any of this.

All I was pointing out was that being excessively boastful and claiming that everyone, without exception, finds working with you "enormously fulfilling" is just unbecoming. I feel like many will find that distasteful and you should leave other people to rate their interactions with you. I doubt there's a single person in the world who has a 100% success rate with regards to positive social/professional experiences with others...

I could have definitely worded it more politely and honestly if this account was tied to my personal name I probably would have worded it more politely, so you've got me there :)

Literally everyone? Ok :)

Also, although there's correlation between right wing and conspiracy theories in general, the title is over emphasising that a lot. The interest in the Epstein scandal for example is pretty much universal.

I develop ERP/MRP integrations for a manufacturing company. So we have an ERP system which we purchased and I build things on top of it to enhance processes within the company. Production trackers, product configurators, issue monitoring, things to speed up engineering management etc. I'm sure there are other roles like this in manufacturing firms because very few of these ERP systems actually do exactly what you want out of the box.

It's good because I'm not just a code monkey. I (and others) identify issues/improvements, I design the solution, I implement the solution and then I train people on how to use it. There's a lot of autonomy.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

- an extra hour per day getting ready and travelling which increases stress and is ~250 hours per year simply wasted - many people have to waste much more.

- my office has terrible facilities. there is no natural light, heating is inconsistent and it's dusty.

- my office is attached to a factory so i have to listen to lathes running for a full 8 hours per day while i'm trying to solve problems.

- no eating area so i pretty much sit in my car for my lunch break

- people are constantly interrupting me with trivial issues that have absolutely no priority

- i don't really socialise at work much anyway so what's the point? i'm the only developer so there's no benefit from being near a team

Instead I could sit in my office at home with a superior set up, superior comfort, relaxing environment. I can go and have a lie down whenver I want. I can start and finish work at odd times if necessary. I can go to the gym on my lunch break.

It's just no contest for me personally although I must admit the quality of my office environment is certainly below average.
