I am going to rant about this here because there is nowhere else where I can "SCREAM".

My work process....

Working on a project that does not have mockups nor a plan. I am building as I go. Design, infrastructure, EVERYTHING. Because my boss is a "genius".

And the project goes like this....

1. Boss tells me to build something.
2. I tell him the functionalities and design.
3. Boss, "Figure out yourself and we will see how it goes".
4. Me, Builds something.
5. Boss does not like it and demands changes.
6. I make the changes.
7. Repeat.

1 year and a half for one project that is a simple e-commerce. Show the products, a search functionality, users sign in and can order and show their orders.

A simple page in which does not take time, but without a plan, without A FUCKING PLAN this project will go on forever.

I am losing my mind. I put on test and tell my boss to test it for bugs. He demands a meeting and tells me, "we need to add this".

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE. TEST THE SITE FOR BUGS YOU FUCKING USELESS THING. I WILL FIX THE BUGS AND THEN WE WILL TALK FOR NEW MODULES.

I am doing documentation, database infrastructure, front-end, back-end, testing (because my boss cannot do it. It took him 2 week to start testing for some things after asking him every fucking day "Did you test it", "Did you test it").

Maintaining out CRM for bugs and new modules and maintaining our company's website.

endless project

    Real Testing should be done by QA (or by yourself), not by your boss. By 'done', I mean programmed with whatever tool's available (most likely phpunit in your case).

    As a rule of thumb, bosses won't give an in-depth look unless a stakeholder nags them.

    Still, your boss's totally overworking you.

    @nitnip My boss as in CEO, the guy who has 100% of stocks in the company. I know that I should do the testing but with all this work I told him that I would do minor testing. He must hire QA. And his response was "I will do the testing. It's ok".

    "Suit yourself.", I told him. So now he took responsibility to test.

    I know I am overworking.:/

    @irene Because my boss doesn't want to spent for other employees, or at least one other person to help me on this "multi-million dollar project" .

    @aldoblack multi-million and not worth paying for another person to work on it? Not just 1 more?
