You know that company all-hands meeting where management talks about "shared sacrifice" and "we're all in this together"? Yeah, turns out some people are dining on the upper deck with champagne while the devs are literally chained to the oars below deck, rowing through production incidents and legacy code.
The PM, Marketing Team, and CEO are up there enjoying the ocean breeze, probably discussing "synergy" and "pivoting the roadmap," while programmers are down in the galley doing the actual work that keeps the ship moving. Same boat? Technically yes. Same experience? Not even close.
It's the perfect visual metaphor for corporate hierarchy in tech companies. Upper management gets the credit and the stock options, while engineers get the on-call rotations and the "opportunity to learn" from fixing that monolithic codebase nobody wants to touch.
