Let me tell you how shit flies in Aerospace&Defense companies in certain place in on earth

1. Your dev. PC is isolated from the internet. You can not download any software/library etc directly. "Legal" way takes literally days and you must all effort for it to work. I will not discuss the details of legal way but it is not asking IT team to download it for you, you do it yourself.

2. You use an archaic requirement standard that is somehow used by all other similar companies too. These companies f*ck each other in the arse when they are working on projects together(hiding details from each other which is necessary most of the times etc.) but they were kind to each other when it came to share shitty req. standard.

3. When you try to switch to new requirement standard, you waste weeks only to amend the old one, because everyone is using old one for all projects, so changing it would upset old guards in the company(which are people works in same project for 10 years, no personal development)
4. You came 1 minutes late, you fill the "minutely permission" form.

5. You already work long hours per day and they remove your small breaks during day, because developers use those breaks longer than intended(I wonder what might be the reason...)

6. A technology can not be adopted into current projects even it has objective advantages proven many times in the outer world, because old guards(developers), IT team and configuration management guys(poor man's dev ops role sometimes) can not change their ways.

I hate this shit...

    @FrodoSwaggins How did you get out? I am trying to learn as much as technologies/concepts before I am stuck in this shithole(like learning other programming languages, learning CI, automation script writing etc)

    Sorry for horrible grammar and typos by the way. I guess I wanted it out of my chest as quickly as possible :).

    I can relate. I was a technical officer in the air force, and it's all so familiar. I'm actually getting angry reading this, because it reminds me of the stupid crap I witnessed and suffered.

    Not sure where you live but in my country and (most European countries I think) there is a law based break. If u work longer than x hours you get half an hour or an hour break. They can't take it away unless it's an emergency or certain work that can't be interrupted, ...

    @sigfried We work total 10 hours. 1 hour is officially lunch break, we are starting too early, imagine sun is not born when you start your day, street lamps are still up...
