In order for something to ever be a real solution it has to be a situated solution. Solutions in the abstract are just fictions. And I love fiction and theory but only as a thing that guides us toward trying the highest leverage thing for our particular situation.

I think if all we have to offer a struggling junior career person is "bosses are terrible," we are offering them a world in which they can never be ok because they need to have a job. And we know they need to have a job, and it's self-indulgent for us to screech at them about capitalism when we could be sharing tactics.

So offer, "here is one thing that helps manage a terrible boss," at least
