oh my, this guy was a serious joke. This was 3 years ago at a company I just joined and this guy should have had more than 10 years of experience.

He was a frontend developer and I had to explain to him how to create a hamburger slide-out menu with jQuery.

He got laid off a couple of months later and now his title holds "senior" developer... I feel sorry for his colleagues that have to deal with his stupidity every day now

I feel you. I was forced to use Infosys resources one time at a company I worked for. The "architect" they placed on our team, who might have been 24 years old, was presented with comprehensive requirements, 39 features and working stubs with r/g tests, and 55 offshore devs.

Two months later, because we weren't allowed oversight by contract, he and his two yes men confidently stride into the milestone meeting to show off their progress, "we almost have bootstrap carousel working, we cannot figure out how to add multiple slide, what do?"

Apparently they had somehow decided not to use the java swing project I'd set up because no one they had on the bench knew java.

@F1973 I get what your are saying but he was performing below company standards

@F1973 to be honest he was one of those, he just approved pull requests without even looking at the code

@F1973
Famous, not really. They're just one of the top 5 companies abusing the shit out of our visa system.

@F1973
Nope, my backstory is out there.

Those types of companies control access to 60% of the work in the US. You can't really avoid them at companies of size.

@F1973
There's too many desperate people being exploited. It's hurting everyone. Need to find a way to unionize, or standardize wages.
