alt Hacker NewsMy manager asked me to disable CI and gating code owner reviews “for 2 weeks” 6 months ago so people could commit faster. Just because it is in your job description doesn’t mean it won’t get shoved aside when it’s perceived as the bottleneck for the core mission.
Now we have nightly builds that nobody checks the result of and we’re finding out about bugs weeks later. Big company btw
That's his right. In capitalism, company owners have the power (which they delegate to managers) to fuck up the company as much as they see fit. On the upside, it means it's their responsibility and not yours.
Once you've said it's going to cause horrible problems, and they say do it anyway, and you have a paper trail of this and it's backed up onto your own storage medium, then you just do it and bring popcorn. If you think it'll bankrupt the company, then you have nothing to lose since you have no right to stop a company going bankrupt, so you might as well email your manager's manager's manager first and see if your manager gets fired.
