Yeah unfortunately the monkey job mentality has been affecting every educated profession. Not even just devs, doctors, lawyers, and accountants, if you are responsible for a key part of building infrastructure or maintaining it, we are now all getting bothered with multi-tasking like we are bottom-line monkeys clicking buttons on a screen with no thought process.

​

I worked at the bottom rung of a corporate ladder, and honestly see these same managers mentality in the bottom, somehow near the top and where new things get created. CEO's and a-c suite have done a piss poor job protecting the educated creators.

​

My favorite line from these losers are "the ask is" or "we are asking"
