I want to scream, we’re having an all-tech-hands meeting about how everyone is having trouble getting their work done because the big central Remote Desktop server we have to use for certain things is overloaded, but we’re being roadblocked by the Corporate Overlord on provisioning more ram, more ssd storage etc.
Thirty highly skilled people having a meeting about how we can’t get two thousand euros in routine maintenance expenses to do our jobs approved.
To be frank, I’ve become extremely frustrated since the acquisition because now the environment combines the worst aspects of a make-it-up-as-you-go small company with the worst aspects of a faceless corporate overlord. I love my coworkers, I don’t love the general approach to projects and customers.
I live in the Netherlands, I have a skilled worker visa as well as a Dutch marriage, I’m transitioning to citizenship in a year. I need a primarily WFH job but I can hybrid in Amsterdam. I have broad general infosec skills, with the most experience in C source code review but I am familiar with reverse engineering and interested in threat intel. I can provide unlimited access to Mastodon’s most popular dog for morale. #infosec #FediHire #jobs #jobsearch
@0xabad1dea my sympathies, I was in a similar situation after the acquisition of a startup I worked for. Lasted a year of participating in corporate politics and getting ever further away from the bits of the job I enjoy before I ejected, leaving behind a substantial bonus had I stuck it out another six months.
