What pisses me off at work

Am I being naive?

People don't feel embarrassed putting shitty work out there -- to users. Not being professional. Making others' life harder.

People are not curious or concerned - clearly they're not interested in solving the problem or make things better; they just want to fence off and turn away. "That's not us." "There's nothing I can do." In the time of crisis, usually such people immediately start finger pointing in stead of jumping in to help.

People feel proud that they work long hours, over the weekends, through holidays - it shows they're busy, occupied; they're important, indispensable; they're on the right rack, to reach success. And the company cheers on that, capitalizes on that, so in stead of upgrading infrastructures, improving tools, optimizing processes, they just ask people to work overtime.

People complain about everything, yet they don't leave.

People make minimum efforts to show that they're working, something's happening, yet leave the real essential problem unresolved.

People make rules/policies to make it hard to get things done.

Endless meetings but no actions.

Putting out standardized answers to stop questions/discussion - as if anyone is stupid.

Micromanagement. No trust. Assuming people just want to do nothing and get paid.

Diversity and inclusion is mentioned here and there; recruiters go after "women", "black", "Latino" - groups that are labeled "diversity and inclusion checked". Whereas every day they don't even include people around them - treating people differently based on their badge color. How different is it from treating people by skin color?

What do I do?

Look for more like-minded people to collaborate with them. I could always find some.

Stand strong and try to exert positive influence around. Trying.

Recently, Brené Brown's Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice inspired me. She asked: "Do you believe people are doing their best?" --Assuming that, and EMBRACE THE SUCK. Maybe it's just the cliche we already know: be optimistic, be grateful, look at it as opportunities... Somehow she made it intriguing and interesting (I've been a fan). I recommend the audio book.("program" - it's a ~3 hour speech + interview)
