> Perhaps most egregious example was in my first 1:1 -- my manager said, "Don't expect much output from [SENIOR ENGINEER X]. He isn't a good engineer." The organization isn't willing to fire anyone. As a result, the people in charge are the ones who have been around the longest.
Kidding aside, where can I find one of these jobs? I'm burnt the hell out and would love to lick my proverbial wounds for a year or so doing this.
I would guess public sector, academia, and large, older enterprise software companies are most likely to be similar. Or just choose any product that is expensive and bad and apply there.
I had the same view going into this job though. Working with incompetent people may stress you out more than you expect.
