Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.
Nice. You can put that on your resume so you can get more of those kinds of jobs.
(/s. I like excel to a point but i really feel your pain too-- and fuck vba)
It’s cloud based though… Not ideal. I get why they had to do that (they didn’t want to expose people to the Python infra shit show) but it’s still kind of a shame.
Would be better if they added Typescript support IMO.
I would say 80% of employees are unhappy, but I don’t have any data to back this up.
Every job lately seems to have been infected by Meta/google “data driven” leadership. Its so painful and wasteful sometimes.

…like the js infra stuff isn’t it’s own special nightmare?
oh no…
Or maybe 80% of people are unhappy. No data here either
80% seems too high, but the US Surgeon General declared a loneliness epidemic https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf
And Gallup claims that 29% of Americans have been diagnosed with depression at one point: https://news.gallup.com/poll/505745/depression-rates-reach-new-highs.aspx
So… That is not good. It is almost like humans evolved to live in tight knit, walkable communities.
