“Dysfunctional” InfoSec worker, seeking balanced employment instead of burnout | dc0de's notes...
by dc0de at 1:13 pm EDT, Sep 28, 2008 |
Here I am, on the hunt again. I can’t help but think of the poster available on Despair.com, that says, “Dysfunction - The only consistant feature of all of your dissatisfying relationships is you”. I have been looking for the wrong types of companies to work for. I realize that now. I will no longer work for “start up” or privately funded, emerging technology companies. |

Your statement is based upon the assumption that there are any "functional" InfoSec or Info* workers...at least any good ones... The "balance" that is lip-serviced at best, quickly, rapidly, and spontaneously runs for the nearest window when "business" needs (generally due to lack of planning, lack of foresight, lack of listening to those of us that have been there-done that) requires a "little" "extra" "investment" or "flexibility". When in doubt - Office Space it...
"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life." "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. " |

True enough... so, is it time to shift career paths... *ponder*... |
