I just spent 2 hours helping a fellow Sr Dev format an “if block” in code. Then helped show them how to step through the code. This is what passes as a senior at my company? I no joke have stayed at this job for 6 more months than I wanted to out of pure pity for my team. I want to quit so bad, but the team is in such terrible shape and can’t hire anyone new that is willing to stay. All good people personally, but gosh this job is just brain dead and eats my weekends when I should be focusing on family. Back to helping through the 500 line if block. There are worse things in life, but this just feels terrible.

    Wonder if everyone competent left because management kept trying to make them work weekends

    @jestdotty The magic word is "no". No, I won't work for free. No, I won't put in the weekends. No, I won't kiss your ass until I can't tell shit from coffee.

    Senior couldn’t handle breakpoints and an if statement?? I can see why people left. That’s just sad.

    @MammaNeedHummus Yeah, I just need to toughen up and make the move. I legit feel sorry for those I’d be leaving behind, it’s such a crap show.

    @TheEnd you sound like a good person. Maybe your move will give them the hint they ought to flee themselves

    @TheEnd Sometimes you've gotta do what's right for you.

    I realized today that all the devs besides the my boss (who is vp) have all been there less than 5 years. Does this mean anything?

    @Demolishun that there was some mass extinction event 5 years ago and only your boss survived 🤠

    Yeeehaww

    @MammaNeedHummus we had other people, but they just quit at some point.

    @MammaNeedHummus thank you for the kind words. You’re right, it could be a lead by example opportunity.
