The recent Pulse survey and the Stack Overflow 2024 Developer Survey reveal critical insights into tech employee dissatisfaction, chiefly driven by technical debt, salary declines, and workplace pressures.
62% of developers cite technical debt as a primary source of frustration. Outdated codebases hinder productivity, which negatively impacts morale and overall job satisfaction.
Only 1 in 5 Individual Contributors express happiness at work, while complacency is alarmingly high across both individuals and people managers, revealing the need for improvements.
Survey trends indicate that flexibility is valued more than salary among developers, with engineering managers enjoying strategic roles, contrasting with the dissatisfaction reported by individual contributors.
