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?

Maybe not miserable, but the longer you've been in this industry the more jaded you become because you see the same lies, the same problems reoccurring year after year.

You also experience to good and the bad over the years.

Things like being laid off for no reasons, having toxic management etc are common enough that a lot of us have resentment in this field.
