So the Marketing department want me single handed recreate an app exactly like Alipay in 2 days? WTF? I told him that this is impossible ... he told me to "Use Template." He said he can even use wordpress to do it .

The problem is they need android app and ios , (nnon-webview)

Just use an template, make it happen! Fool!

Dude you are working in hell. Every now and then you come across some bullshit.

Your Marketing Dept needs some chappal taste.

@Cyanide haanji ... I am so tired of him seriously.

What a moron! He can do it in WordPress?

Great, quit the fucking job and send him link to download wordpress!

I see this as a win-win, he will get wp alipay clone, you will get rid of shitty marketing!

@devJs I wish I can quit ...

@johnmelodyme 👀 are you chained to that desk? Physically chained to that desk?

Grab your shit, walk out that fucking door, and work somewhere else.

Don't you "but I need the monies", you get your ass out that door.

There's always someone who will pay for your services.

@C0D4 in my country if you leave right away without a 3 months notice, you will be either get sued or pay the company compensation.

Ask him to help you do it then. When he says it's your job you should know how, reply that you don't and he seems to know more than you so please teach. When he inevitably makes an excuse why it can't then tell him 'so actually you don't know how to so please don't tell me how this works'.

@craig939393 good idea. I'm telling him now.

@johnmelodyme wow, that's just wow.

Here I am after ~7 years with my current employer and I can give 4 weeks notice and walk, and that seems high.

3 months might aswell be a chain to the desk. My condolences.

Find something else tha can give you the 3 months grace to jump ship in the mean time?

@C0D4 I'm doing it now , searching new job where they have a clue and realistic.

@johnmelodyme remind me to never ever move to your country, wherever it may be.

If he said he can even use wordpress to do it, let him. Guy is a clueless moron.

If he can use wordpress to do it in 2 days, maybe he just should do that

@LotsOfCaffeine right?

@johnmelodyme @LotsOfCaffeine
If he can do it in two days - then he should deliver it to the client, and take all the credit!

No need for you to try to steal his achivement!

@magicMirror exactly!

Dude, you have lots of stories, what kind of company you are working for?

If he CAN do it himself he SHOULD do it himself. He’s supposedly the super genius who can do it in 2 days. It’s like Superman asking a lowly mortal to lift a boulder for him. What’s the matter johnmelodyme? Can’t write amazon in 2 days? Can’t recreate the google search engine in 2 days? You’re a joke 🙄🙃

@curiousjoe long story man...

@johnmelodyme Can’t quit without giving 3 months notice? Sounds like a 3 month vacation to me. What are they going to do, fire you? 👌🏻

@Root getting sued.

@johnmelodyme Put in minimal effort, waffle, make excuses.

I like @Root ‘s idea. Dont do shit. But then again by “getting sued” you mean they can sue you for not performing your job?

@TeachMeCode Yeap. It's absurd I know.

Wordpress for mobile, that's an idea.. I'd like to see the world burn 🔥

@johnmelodyme I would love to see that employment contract. Surely there's a way out of it.

Next assignment is build netflix in Wordpress. Should take a day or two

@C0D4 unfortunately, they didn't give me the offer letter.

@johnmelodyme 👀 I'll add another ✅ to the list of red flags I'm seeing here.

Everytime someone says "I can use Wordpress to do that" you should say "I'd like you to try" and smirk with confidence. It's one of THE moments to use a cheesy Hollywood villain oneliner.

@TeachMeCode day or two for netflix clone? Pfft its easily half day of work ... You know, if you use templates!

What a joke of a company. Isn't even funny, I feel the OPs pain and I hope he finds some legit exit strategy that will help him to find better place asap!

@devJs Netflix is what, four screens? Five? That should be easy! Anything more than a week and you’re just being lazy.

@Root - yep, you are absolutely right. I did simple reddit clone with their API in 2-3 days while being lazy, some data models are weird but consistent.

As long as there is good API and not too much screens, shouldn't take more than week in general.

@devJs Amusing.

Mine was sarcasm about building an entire Netflix clone. But if they do provide an API, building something that _looks_ like a clone probably wouldn’t be very difficult.

@johnmelodyme so how long ago did you give notice? Besides if they keep asking you to do criminal things it's hard for them to do anything in court.
They can say you refused to do work and you say you refused to break the law and point out what laws they are breaking actively right now. I think they know this will happen and not sue you at all.

@hjk101 one month.

@johnmelodyme
So we will have two months of quality rants from you, good, good Anakin.
Just kidding, hope are getting trough this unscathed, best of luck in these tough times.

@hjk101 now I hope that authority will just help me to get out.

@johnmelodyme Hold on? How have they not given you a contract or any offer letter that could double as such?

@Berkmann18 right?! And if there's no contact/offer letter then on what basis can they possibly sue?
