      The fact they had to do this to earn a promotion is an institutional problem. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

        hate the game.

        Game rules: You want a promotion? Make something cool, improve something while using approaches that will show that you deserve a higher position and, therefore, a bigger salary.

        Player: (Lies and creates shit that is even worse than the initial situation.)

        Lemmy: Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

          More like game rules: manager needs shiny buzzwords and big number go up. Having something that works fine for 5 years is considered stale and corporate culture is all about useless innovation.
