For me:
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

That’s a great question and there are so many good answers in this thread.
Don’t expect your superiors to ever back you up. I got burned so many times. I knew I was right, but they didn’t have a backbone and only thought about the budget, their reputation, and the work they’d have to put in for damage control. I wanted to shut restaurants for their filthiness, but “Oh noes, what will the community think”. Well, if someone dies, then it’s on your head. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
Even if a conversation or direction was made verbally, always follow up with an email to say “Just to confirm our conversation today, you have directed me to…” Even if it’s about holidays. My old boss was such a prick. Him and all upper management are the reason I am suspicious of everyone and everything.
99% of people don’t wash their hands properly.
I threatened to call the fire marshal on an employer once if they didn’t fix an emergency exit. It got fixed that night, but can’t say it ingratiated me with management.
But I had told them about the broken door for almost a month.
I told my boss about the team leader who was bullying others, bullying the business owners, and making extremely sexist and racist remarks to everyone “lower” than him, and then I became thd problem. 🙄 Management are the ones that preach “We’re a family” until money or their ego is involved, and suddenly, they’re crying and out for blood.
You did what was right. Be proud to have the morals and respect for you and others that they will never have.
The number of times I’ve seen people get out of the shitter and just head back to work, is disgustingly too damn high. I used to bring sanitary wipes with to clean every door handle. Now I work from home thankfully.
Now, picture the same people in restaurants preparing your food. It’s exactly the same thing 💀
same here, so exhausting.
It’s why I ended up quitting that job. I couldn’t get ahead because documenting everything took up so much of my time. In the end, the entire chain up to CEO still sided with my shite in the rain of a manager because she sucked enough under the table 🙄
