[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"Disagree and Commit doesn't work if the way it actually works is "Whoever has a higher salary gets to drive the decision" ... "disagree and commit" is more like "always listen to your boss regardless whether you agree with his decision or not" ..."
"You're not angry at the growth mindset. You're angry at the fact that the lies you used to tell yourself aren't working anymore."
"Typically used to justify a below-market compensation. If you want a fair package, you’re not in the “growth mindset” enough."
