@Root or alternatively, make him find a new job

@Root working on it

@magicMirror well hes told me to not work on something until I have a spec so that's what I'll do from now on
-
@Quirinus hes always got a bullshit reason 😂😂 this is why I said to him how can i over engineer something without an agreed technical specification that outlines the requirements. If I had that and I did more that the requirements then yes it would be over engineered but all I have is a design to work from for backend architecture and database structure. Oh and the design changes every few hours so my structure also has to changes. I don't see the point of work on anything 😂😂

@bashleigh Yup. It is a "sit on your hands and do nothing" situation.
When it fails, make sure it is not your fault. -
@magicMirror I wouldn't mind being fired to be honest. Would be nice to take a break

@Root why do you think recommending to run away from the problem is a good advice? There are hundreds of possibilities to solve this problem with this boss cunt by not quitting the job.

@Wombat Because direct conflict with management, especially over sexual harassment, will never end well for the woman, no matter the corroborating evidence. Management would never trust her again; they'd see her as a legal liability instead of an employee. There's also the question of how much of a grudge the guy will hold, and what he will do about it. While it's best for the company for her to fight it, it's best for her to simply leave.

@Root exactly. Same old story

When your boss wants it done now but you're on vacation
So I'm a backend engineer and my boss keeps telling me I over engineer stuff. I'm never given a technical spec or architectural spec, just told what to do so I build. But apparently I over engineer? Admittedly I do tend to but recently I cba and done the most basic thing. Apparently its over engineered.
Would you agree that to say something is over engineered a technical requirements document is required in order to specify over engineered said request needs to be?
Ps: my boss is an inappropriate cunt. Finally got that out.
Feel like hes just making arguments with me to get rid of me because I didnt want to cuddle in bed with him after he gave me an uncalled for back rub..
