My experience as an admin was quite similar. Developers just couldn't seem to grasp the need for someone to foot the bill for their constant requests for 2 TB LUNs. I'm just glad I'm done dealing with that shit.
Those are just the places I've worked. Am I not allowed to speak about my personal experiences? Should I have said "at a high stress rocket company", and "at a FAANG company"? I thought it was relevant and interesting since SpaceX generally ranks high for burnout, and Google is generally considered a silicon valley ideal for comfort, but in my experience it was easier to find a sustainable balance at SpaceX than Google.
