Think about what makes places terrible: is it that they’re misery-factories where everyone is being tased for not completing TPS reports fast enough or is it that the rules are being applied unevenly or aren’t being set reasonably for everyone?
From the perspective of the people in the other side in that latter case everything is fine and everyone else are just whining. You can especially see this in places where status is uneven (e.g. the guys who went to the right schools call the shots) or where there’s some kind of hazing tradition (e.g. medicine or law have brutal startup loads for early career people but are resistant to change because all of the senior people have, by definition, been the ones who were able to deal with it and changes won’t benefit them).

Holy shit, is this true or what?
Edit: Sorry, low value comment. Seeing it written out, it just really struck me.
