>tfw the tech industry has become a meme for MBA douche bags to validate their diploma in the real word Sounds like you just worked for shit companies. We shifted from .NET to ReactJS based on requirements established by the team not by a single person calling the shots. Did you speak up against the manager to tried to change everything?

You don't get fired for having conflicting opinions. If you don't speak up against terrible ideas they won't know they're terrible and the problem will repeat itself.

If a company is firing you for differing opinions it either:
A) Doesn't value developers B) Was looking for an excuse to fire you C) Your opinions are retarded
I work for a software company and we'd be more likely to get fired for being silent/passive instead of voicing our concerns over something like a framework switch.
So are you guys NEETs larping or do you just work for terrible companies?

Product manager here, if ur manager didn’t give you context or invite key team members to planning stages of these changes then they’re going against the current best practices in the industry.
Additionally you can assume that these broad of changes came from higher than them, so that may suggest a changing attitude to tech debt and/or the integrity of existing systems. A manager doesn’t just wake up and decide to refactor the whole fuckin platform for no reason.
I guess it’s also possible you just work somewhere with poor management tho

This is why one should always stall, delay, make excuses, put off, any changes a manager wants. You wait until they change their mind or are replaced. Duh.
Nicholas Bell
Underrated post, this guy is actually in the industry
Colton Walker
Sounds like you just avoided being employed at a shit company.

every new higher up manager will make a statement that the previous one did a shitty job if he's a tech manager such as a CTO, he WILL enforce new tech to make this point >product manager LEL if there is one (1) guy that has to roll with everything and STFU when it comes to tech, it's the product manager
Chase Evans
I guess, unless you work at a company with no EM and you were able to catch up on the frameworks and QA process of the product fast enough to win trust of devs
Dylan Johnson
It doesn't fucking matter, you are fired. And if your company allows you to voice your opinion freele, is because management allows it, not for any reason. Lastly, good luck trying to get a job in IT if you are older than 35.

>working full time, let go, called back for part, had to leave because they weren't paying me (they actually ran out of money because people aren't paying contracts on time) I'd like to not complain because I got to make new tools for us and work in a very good environment, but NOT PAYING PAID, NOT FULL TIME trumps anything else.

>custom CMS
Wow, OP is the biggest fucking retard in the world. No wonder they got a new manager to clean house, the company was spending gobs of money reinventing the fucking wheel.
Let me break it down for you. You don't hire a team of coders to make a CMS because there are CMS' on the market that have worked out all the problems that arise with designing such a thing already. They work out all the security and scaling issues. There are literally thousands of coders working on wordpress and other CMS and most of them are probably better than you.You don't reinvent the wheel. You definitely don't reinvent the wheel and build it specifically for each new wagon.
Example: I know about a company that has spent 2 million dollars building a custom CMS. 2 million dollars. On something that exists they could have bought for a 100 bucks. Got needs it doesn't provide? That is why wordpress has PLUGINS and there is a whole industry of coders that do nothing but PLUGINS.
That manager thinks you're all retarded and he is right. They're probably going to do a code review and figure out your code is garbage.
