True story: I got fired once for leaving placeholder text that was replaced by an Ajax call anyway.

Plot twist : the text was all curse words and passwords.

xhr.onprogress = function(event) {
console.log('fucksticks!');
}

sounds like at that point they're were just looking for a reason

If that is the type of company they are you will benefit in the long run being at a better company. How did it work out for you career wise?

@Woosh exactly

@Jumpshot44 Thanks for the concern! Definitely has improved. The surprising thing is that when I worked for that company, it was the first job I had in 4 years not being a lead dev and manager. They treated me like a child. Haha back into software architecture level now.
