Shit man. I used to work at a Circuit City at the height of bloated shitty Celeron PCs.

We would be forced to sell a “system optimization” on each PC we sold. It was just a script that uninstalled a few of the bloatware items and tweaked the animation speed to make the customer think we did something incredible.

I fucking hated that job!

The most important lesson I have learned throughout my career is that large corporations are not worth working for. Too much “HR” interference.

The best work environments I have ever been a part of is when I worked for smaller businesses that were still made up of actual people and not nameless/faceless/soulless “corporate HR departments”, who’s sole purpose is to “make corpo more money no matter the means”.
