@zshh
- Abusive boss!
- Abusive Team Leaders and Project Managers.
- Low salary (One of those co-workers was an 'intern' according to boss. Worked there for 9 months and did not get paid. ) -
I had a similar situation and when I told my manager that I was going to leave the company he told me that another 6 people had quiting in the last two days and in his own words "this is ridiculously, yesterday three guys leave us for company X and today the python, java and .net devs. And now your are telling me your are quiting too? what the hell is going on? This can't be happening"
I just shrugged my shoulders and said nothing... -
@byoigres Maybe... Just maybe, you need not just treat your employees with respect, but good salaries also.

@freebug I remember when I started to train Jr. devs. I started to act like my former boss was with me, and then I said to myself that it was wrong. And I changed my attitude.
@Klanowicz From Albania, but living in U.S.A. :) -
@byoigres you actually have to speak up in these situations.
Give feedback, give them the opportunity to fix their shit, still leave though

His last day...all mouse devices
3 years ago.....
*lunch break. In a table with 2 other co-workers*
Me: "I am going to quit today!"
Co-worker 1: "What? I am going to do that today too!"
Co-worker 2: "Are you serious? I was planning to do that too today!"
Me: "Holy cow! Let's do that today the three of us, but I am going last one. I want to see his face (our CEO)".
After couple of minutes and disagreement, we agreed to do that.
When I told him (I was the last to tell himm), he was sweating and his face was red. Started to throw offensive words towards me. I was expecting that and came prepared. BUT, in the middle of his words saying "I hire you because no one would hire you" etc, quietly and with a smile on my face, I interrupted him saying, "Look, is this going to take long? Because I gotta go somewhere and I am not in the mood to listen to you!"
He started to shake from that rage he had inside him. I know he wanted to punch me. But nothing happened.
I still remember his face like it was yesterday. :P
Epilogue:
My aunt's husband and him were best friends. He called him saying what happened. Of course, I was the one to blame. Since my parent knew what kind of guy he is, they told me "You did good for being quiet, not screaming and not acting like a child!"
