  1. In office - COVID taught us remote works best for me, there's no going back
  2. Pay - don't pay/offer enough or give a raise at least equivalent to inflation --> ๐Ÿ‘‹
  3. Micro-management / bad management -๐Ÿ‘‹
  4. Force windows or mac onto me - first I push back, but I will quit if push comes to shove

Youโ€™ve had a job where they let you use Linux on your machine? Every job Iโ€™ve had has been strictly windows

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Every job I've had as a developer, I've had a Linux box for development. Some I've also had a Windows laptop for specialty hardware vendor programs / portability, and some I've also had a MacBook from which to work.

I'm not going to whinge just because I don't get to use all of my personally preferred platforms, but if my employer ever denied me the necessary equipment or insisted upon the objectively wrong technology for a project - in any way - I'd simply leave if they refused to listen, since I'm not going down on a sinking ship.

I could choose on all my jobs. I'm doing linux since so long, I don't even wanna hear of windows.
