Oh, be serious!

No manager has "absolute power" over you. At a maximum they have the power to fire you. As a software developer in this economy there are far more important things to worry about.

And yeah, I'm a manager!




Yeah, firing you so you can't pay rent and don't have health care isn't much power at all, is it?

And withholding a reference for their next job hunt certainly doesn't do anything either.


The OP said "absolute power" not "any power" so let's at least get that straight.

Nice goalpost moving, though.

And TBH, I don't know anyone who uses their current job as reference for the next job: probably wouldn't go over well. I still have people I last worked with 10 years ago using me as a reference.


Yeah in modern capitalism simple failure to "fit in" often leads to death for a free country you have to toe the line so tight it breaks your feet but you better not complain lol
