Date: August 28th, 2026 11:22 AM Author: cucumbers $201,000.00k + 10% bonus + great benefits. Fully remote with no apparent risk of RTO ever because the team is distributed across three continents. My manager is in the UK.
I will be managing 3-4 codecucks (exact number TBD) and one junior manager.
I will resume poasting about how much I hate coding.

Date: August 28th, 2026 11:26 AM Author: cucumbers I like to think of coders as people with special needs, and as a manager I'm their caretaker. I have the social skills that coders usually lack, which is why I got promoted to management. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898327&forum_id=2̃#50099219) |

Date: August 28th, 2026 11:29 AM Author: Richard Ames How many actual hours of "work" will you have to do each week.
Also ideally this doesn't disrupt your Slice of Life poasting. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2026 12:00 PM Author: cucumbers Don't know how busy it'll be yet, but if you start seeing lots of threads like "holy fuck i hate coding" or "holy fuck i hate managing coders," it's probably too much "work" and drudgery.
I started my Slice of Life poasting while employed and will continue to poast those threads. |

Date: August 28th, 2026 12:04 PM Author: cucumbers I had the Same Job for six years until I found a higher-paying job a few months ago. Unfortunately, that new job misled me about the state of the project I'd be working on, and I was laid off after two months because their client bailed. So now I'm starting a New Job with a very big and seemingly Very Stable company. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898327&forum_id=2̃#50099315) |
