Thread regarding USAA layoffs

"If I'm Going To Be A Partner In A Law Firm... "

I can't help it! There are so many terrific quotes from Legally Blonde that applies now.

"If I'm Going To Be A Partner In A Law Firm...I Need A Boyfriend Who's Not Such A Complete Bonehead."

If I am going to be the best engineer that I know that I am ... I need a company that does not have so many complete boneheads in charge!

Really, honestly. We all can do much, much better!

A little humor, and hopefully inspiration for today!

After reading this post I watched office space and yeah that is the most accurate description of USAA IT right now. My motivation is to keep all the people who are on my a-s for me to do my work away from me. Too many chiefs not enough Indians

USAA, home of the tech leads who can't code, just "have conversations"

Office Space = USAA

I was thinking Office Space:

Peter Gibbons : The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter : Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons : It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my a-s off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Slydell : I beg your pardon?
Peter Gibbons : Eight bosses.
Bob Slydell : Eight?
Peter Gibbons : Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
