I want to get into cybersecurity. I am willing to learn about it and do the job effectively. My dumbfuck cornfed manager said they want to make sure i have a "passion" for it. No, i will not think about cybersecurity day and night like i'm in love with it, you dumb fuck middle manager.
The problem for me is that I genuinely do love the lab work that forms the core of my job, what saps my passion is all the corporate bullshit that surrounds it. Time keeping for the bean counters, pointless corporate bureaucracy that exists solely so they can better document my every move, penny pinching, corpo speak and mba brain, and low pay. Like they seem to do whatever they can to get in the way of a genuinely interesting and, at times, fun job.
