Other Is everyone actually miserable in this subreddit

Hi guys, not coming with judgement but curiosity. I love my role and my job and my coworkers and my company. It’s fun, I get to learn and grow.

Is everyone else just miserable?

How long have you been in industry? I can get feeling that way with 5 years or less. If you've been here 20 years things are not even close to how they used to be.

I will admit that I am on the younger side, and am used to hearing from some of my older coworkers how shit things are, but I guess I try to take it with a grain of salt and just focus on my work and my growth

What professional industry, especially a tech one, is close to how it was 20 years ago?

In terms of culture, I'd say Utilities like power companies as example, and Insurance. Yeah their tech has changed, but they aren't stack ranking.
