No time sheets at this place!

@dummy I would just send it back and tell him to do it. If he makes an effort to learn then theres that, otherwise let mgmt know hes not doing his job.

But I can understand him not have the experience, I worked a job for a few years where we didnt write test cases, mgmt just wanted things done as quickly as possible.

What kind of mistakes? Just curious

@sariel the shitter is, we dont get hours for time tracking. All 40 hours a week must be billable hours to a customer.

But, hopefully the grass is greener come Tuesday

Giving small releases to the customer after a feature was finished would've helped too

I looked specifically for remote positions. So it gave me access to employers outside my smaller midwest city. My negotiation skills are pretty ok, the salary I was offered is pretty abnormal for my area/age, but I could always get better

@molaram I didnt think about them taking both. I was fine with just one with the salary bump

@irene I was making a dumb joke. Just weird to me it's ok to equate masculine traits with toxicity. In reality there's just asshole people and non asshole people.

Sounds like a meeting caused by toxic femininity

I quit drinking caffeine. Sucked at first but after a couple weeks I started to be able to focus longer than before I quit

Curious, did you try to sell it

@craig939393 definitely everything you said is true. But if a 20 year dev is incompetent, its should show up in the interview process. Unless the interview process is lacking. I'm more thinking they have experience with things that just takes time in the industry to get. In 20 years, a competent developer has: dealt with a wide variety of solutions, different types of customers, failures and reflected on why it went poorly, etc. All those just take time and more time.

It just seems like more and more young developers want to upgrade their title quickly so they can get the higher paying senior level jobs. Which I understand, just seems the term senior should be changed to something else.

@johnmelodyme

It is not common in the US from what I have come across. That's why I immediately said I wasnt interested anymore.

If you cant trust an employee to work while no one is watching, they shouldn't be hired in the first place. Either you are going to be dealing with micromanagement or you actually will have to work with a bunch of developers that cant be trusted. Either way that would suck

If he expects you to also be the business analyst you should tell him you shouldve been on the call. Changes in requirements could completely change the cost of the job, which is his job to calculate

I'm in the US. I just interviewed for a job and they said all remote workers must be in a zoom meeting for there entire shift. I told them it sounds like micromanagement and said I wouldnt be a good fit.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying jobs that are mostly remote but require occasional travel to the office is wrong. But if the location is specifically listed as remote but requires the employee to live somewhere specifically, it should be stated.

I'm in the US only applying to jobs in the US.

Remote means never coming into the office, so stand ups would be done though a virtual meeting.

If they have a location requirement, it should be listed in the job ad. I cant keep wasting 30 minutes of PTO to find it out in the call.

.NET developer here. And I fuck myself each and everyday thank you very much

Everyone get under their desk and turn the lights off to pretend no one is there. Worked in elementary school

@jiraTicket thanks for the answer. I guess its all miles ahead of what my current job offers.

With my current job, it's not tight deadlines, its tights hours per task. Say I have to implement a custom feature, the PM will say I have 4 hours to complete it. And with how we track time, they know how long everything takes because we have to have 40 billable hours a week.

So it be relief to just have tight deadlines instead

It's a software consulting company, all their developers are full time. and they are hiring because of recent growth. They mentioned I'd get to dabble in different tech stacks from project to project, which last around 6 months on average. They do a hackathon once a year. If you aren't on a client project, you're working on internal stuff or they pay for classes.
The developers I talked to say they get enough time to finish projects. It has great reviews on glassdoor.

Just seems to good to be true.

I've never worked at a company that didnt have a 401k, let alone didnt match a certain percent. But yes, start doing it early. You could find examples, but starting earlier is much better than starting later and contributing more money. Also the match is free money.

You could match up to the percent your company offers, and put the rest into a roth IRA. My guess is taxes will increase due to more young people being on the left of politics

I feel the pain. We use word for all our design docs. Last one I inserted an image and it fucked up the whole documents indentation...and wouldn't let me undo it. Microsofts always thinking they know what I want, just do only what I tell you to

@sladuled I guess I was more talking about meeting where everyone is on a different project, we just meet because the manager probably feels like we have to. It be more productive if he asked does anyone have obstacles or brain storm ideas on anyrhubg.

But for your issue, I would think whoever made that change would create and send a work item among all the teams that needed to change code. That way all the changes can be tracked.

@sladuled yea that makes sense. We just have one person per project implementation, so I'm the only one that could mess up thing x.

@Demolishun I actually really like javascript as a language

@SortOfTested I'll create a framework with a method addition() that returns the ADDress posITION

@ReverendLovejoy is that 4 weeks as in 30 days or 4 business weeks (20 days)?

My companies product uses asp.net web forms... so know it could be worse

@kescherRant luckily I have it setup so i get emails with when a work item is assigned to me and it has the original note. But I'm sure the PM or my boss will just skim through the notes and assume I messed up. And if I bring it up I look like a bitch
