@Tuna: In some forums they might require more strict rules, and not sure how much time I could give to those forums. I enjoy writing here and seeing you guys commenting (And this is actually one reason for having the Insiders forum – the entry fee is an efficient way to keep negative people away ;)

@Jake: :)

I’d say it’s a two way street, i have encountered peep(s)
in leading postion(s) that ask you to do extra work for they have “no time” for they have to rush in to they IE. freetime activities as in sport per say. However, you can’t never call the favor back cause it’s not their job to aid you in any way, but only tell you what to do. Even as they didn’t have the picture of it themselves.

After few occasions you are rather likely to reply it as “it is not my job” as your own timetable is far beyond the schedule due to your vain sacrifices to keep the project on it’s track and taking all responsibility to do the actuall job and more. Even moreso when you are pushed to the limits with your own work with actively changing scheme of how things should be. Should you fail, it’s all in your responsibility.

No offence and sorry to rain on your parade, but there are people in the industry that are not neccessarily suited for leading positions, thus the whine from many mouths i recon.
Often these leading peeps have a solid ground that can’t be shaken in any way they are tied via shares or otherwise so that you can’t go up against them nor even correct them (any comment is most likely to be conciderd as an personal assault, no matter the arguments or sense), and they will have their way regardless of sense or consiquenses. Commentation/critisism= “Defiance” = Unemployment.

As for more happy tune. It’s not all like that. There are many: good peeps, places, projects and whatnot as well. :)

PS. Good topics lately! And sorry for the rantage. :)
