The reverse correlation of how mgmt thinks of people vs tech amazes me.
The tech can make a ton of mistakes, but that's OK, it will magically get better someday. To hire a person they must prove they have solved your exact problem before and 100% guaranteed to be successful on day one.

it's just this leaky hole in your life that everything you carefully set up for yourself can just fall out of at any time, and the idea of treating you with any sympathy for it is completely alien to any representative of the system you come in contact with
