Quoting: venting maybe 79017293 I've come to the conclusion that it's better to be a broke loser, I don't want to be my own boss either and have other people shit on me and my business practices. Most of the people I know like you actually have adhd. I've seen some people turn their lives completely around by getting the proper medication. I have a feeling you didn't do well in school either? Thats usually another red flag for the condition. The sad reality is, most under achievers are undiagnosed adhd. Most people in prisons are aswell, and they all have some form of addiction, whether chemical or not. |

First, you probably have problems. Don't wait until your 48 like I did find out what they are. Once you find out, deal with them, don't discuss with people who aren't educated enough to help anyhow. Lay down a strict "no drugs" rule with any help and see if there are ways to fix the problems without them. Quit beating yourself up if you're honestly trying. During my time, I did always work. I was in trucking, then computer programming. Both of those jobs are easy to hop around with if you're skilled. After some time, the relationships at those jobs would fall apart as I just couldn't fit in. Once you find out the problems, start looking for work that you can do with that problem. Don't shoot for high paying work because people with problems generally can't hang with the stress of those jobs. Money is nice, but if you're setting yourself up for failure, why bother. For me, I write and drive gig jobs. Gig jobs are awesome because I run the show for the most part and I can start and stop at my convenience. If the stress is going high, I simply take however much time I need off. Gig jobs are deceptively low in pay and benefits though and they're just a band-aid or additional income. Good luck and keep trying. |

To this day I still don't know what the actual reason was. They didn't fight an unemployment case. There were a couple of others in different departments that were also let go around the same time. |

Ok well that sounds suspicious. There had to have been red flags that something was up. What did you notice when the new boss came in? Well, he kinda started riding my ass when he came on about some of the implementation decisions. We were a red hat shop but he wanted to know why we weren't using something more serious like Solaris, for example. They were already well invested in a RedHat infrastructure when I started there and I didn't really see any good reason to change that during my tenure, and neither had my previous boss. We also had in house software that was specifically written to run on Linux and probably was not portable to Solaris. He also kept asking why we were not using cloud services like AWS(which was brand spanking new at the time). Under the previous boss I had been told that the owners wanted to run in house and self host. They were very adamant about keeping physical custody of the data. I had actually suggested a few times that we move production infrastructure to a Colo but they shot that down. At any rate, these decisions weren't really my own. I simply implemented what was requested by my boss at the time using the infrastructure we had. We did end up virtualizing, which was also pretty spanking new at the time. I think there was some soreness around unexpected downtime but I wasn't the one who suggested to re-implement the entire infrastructure that was working fine. Additionally, this was in a time period when virtualization was still a little "half baked" and we were running into some problems like kernel issues that I couldn't really address and needed attention from the vendor. They refused to buy a support contract from Red Hat so all I could do was reboot on kernel crashes and wait for Red Hat to publish a patch. I was not hired as a kernel developer nor was that ever in the job requirements. We had 4 9's of uptime, so it's not like shit was down constantly. We were sitting at something like 99.996% up and we had power related outages I had no control over. We had a backup site but used DNS based fail over so it took approx 2 minutes to switch sites if we lost power. The company had not made any investment in BGP, which I had been suggesting. |
