Yea so tonight a junior infosec person called me.
He was struggling with a bad employer who was gaslighting him and not giving him any path to success.
I think my next talk needs to be about how to succeed in business as a junior infosec person.
LMK where I should submit it.

I’m talking to SANS about a webinar panel! But I’ll also release a blog.
There seems to be a lot of bitter resentment about this from people who have had bad management. There’s no silver bullet to those situations, but we really do have to have conversations about bad and good management styles and cultures.
Unfortunately, a lot of people who should not be managers and do not have basic requisite skills become managers. Sometimes they’re pushed into it. Some cultures just have irredeemable cultures from the highest level.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t essential skills to becoming a good manager and that we need to send a wake up calls to people who are lacking them and to people who are being negatively effected by reporting to those managers.
Overall, though, I notice a lot of resentment in general from seasoned infosec pros to junior ones when they don’t have to suffer the same indignities and roadblocks we did. It’s natural, but absurd. We should be happy when things improve.
