current fight in my company: C-level: "whatcha workin on" IC: "(some ops thing)" C-level to CTO: "dude what the fuck" CTO: "?????" team lead: "why do C-levels hate uptime" I just can people talk to each other a little, what the throbbing blue-veined fuck

wibni that C-level had stopped by that IC's team lead and asked "so y u do dis?" "oh we had an outage last week and need to fix this shit to maintain our client SLA" "...that sounds good and proper, carry on!" there's no ill will here, just people scared to words at each other

Generally with you
but FB has a well-documented history of all levels gleefully discussing how to mislead and exploit customers and users.
Maybe I’m naïve but that’s not my experience of working in industry. -
Equivocating between ubiquitous “reality is big & confusing & deadlines are tight” with “how can we maximally addict these people” seems like a good way of normalizing latter.
