I wprked for an architecture firm in seattle in 1994.
It was owned and ran by two brothers, the Yuans. I was making $9 per hour.
One would come to me and task me with something.
Then later, the other would come tell me to stop doing what i was doing and do his task.
Then the prior would come see me not doing his task and yell at me for not doing his task.
Then the other would do the same!
Super shitty managers.
I designed the entire (at the time) fred Hutchinson cancer research center by myself, while dealing with the above dynamic for $9 fucking dollars an hour.
There's this beautiful scene in the movie 'Margin Call' that I liked about engineering and building things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNX7u_8KL7g
Yes, I have also been in shitty situations working with idiots. But the saving grace is, at the end of it all, you have built something that hopefully helps people. In your case, you clearly did and you should be proud of that.
