Not many people know it, but penguins are excellent brick layers and if they were smart enough, ostriches and emus would make excellent guard birds! Also, kiwis are just adorably awkward, so they’re there to keep the morale up 😉
What is protest part? Not sure it is malicious compliance either because contestant was not rebirthed as woman. Not that it’s possible unless you are buddhist.
Really well written, you did a great job of conveying the inertia you and your team must have felt without making the reader feel bogged down, I really enjoyed it.
An amazing story, and just downright perplexing. It is a shame you never found out what on earth was going on in the CTOs head. I would love to understand the thought process (or lack thereof) that went into that.
If I had to speculate and GUESS, based on information I know now and if I give the CTO the benefit of the doubt and assume he was competent (contrary to what I saw), I would say they were having trouble canceling the contract with the third party consulting firm we were hired through. I also think they might have been quietly moving their operations out of state to another infrastructure originally belonging to another company they bought or merged with that had their own IT team and wanted us kept out of the loop. Hiring us might have been a way to reduce our compensation and get us under an NDA regarding the move. When hiring us failed they were able to re-negotiate the terms of the contract with the consulting firm for half of what it was. Again, just a guess.
If only they had purchased a smart employee that could count (like you) to do this job instead of a “stupid cow that can’t count”, this could have all been avoided. /s
This reminded me of something. If you ordered diapers from Amazon between 2019-2021 and you lived in the Boston area South of the Charles down to Scituate and the sort labels were placed directly over the baby’s face… That was me. I was amusing myself.
all this could have been avoided if he had simply had the patience to explain “don’t cover textual brand signage, people need to be able to identify what they’re buying. maybe aim for cosmetic stuff like product pictures; those are usually bullshit anyway…”
If you believe that there was any conversation like this at all, and it isn’t just some production line that places coupons at the same place on every box.
The community is “malicious compliance”. It would only be a perfect fit for here if it were actually malicious compliance and not just a funny coincidence.
Whether real or not, it is a joke about malicious compliance creating this funny placement. It could very well be real malicious compliance. That’s a very fitting place for this meme
