An arbitrary metric based on manual audits that never truly reflects operational reality.

A vanity metric for connecting more systems, regardless of the data's actual utility or integrity.

The 'Single Source of Truth' Mantra
A mythical concept invoked to justify endless data cleansing projects that never converge.

Sitting through endless discussions about 'what data do we need?' without anyone defining 'why'.
[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"Companies hate employees sharing how much they make."
"organizational issues could make it hard to enjoy."
"calling the things my data engineering projects needed anything other than glue would be overselling it..."
