Before starting a job at company CUNT, we had an interview at which I told them I do not want to work on legacy monolithic codebases. We had a nice agreement and they offered me to work as a back-end with one of their projects. I was super excited to start. CUNT was very culty, always talks about how carrying for employees they are and always keep promises on their end of the table.

A week has passed, the codebase is superb legacy shit hole, no fucking standards, monolithic as fuck (BE and FE projects live in one project folder with tons of depreciated tools - there are no docs for them. That’s how old they are). They even have secret folder in their project with YOU GUESSED IT - secret keys.

Told CTO today, that I want to switch projects, because this was not the thing I signed up for and remember THEY ALWAYS CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND PROMISES MADE. He basically told me, that project owners (other company) will not understand this culturally and I can either wait it out and possibly get my hands on a better project or fuck off right now.

Also, I was told, that my judgment was garbage worth and I should work longer with project “shit hole” to fully understand it.

Such a fucking salesman.

Anyways, I told that this situation is not culturally appropriate for me either as they gave me a sort of promise and I wont leave the company as I just switched jobs and cannot afford to do that again. I’ll hopefully get another position in another project soon.

WTF IS WORNG WITH PEOPLE

    Sounds like an exit is needed and a good glassdoor type post would be handy.

    Specific examples like that I think are more handy one sites where you see a lot of 'managers are bad'... but examples like that are hard to ignore.

    Yes, a Glassdoor review and job hunt should be your next step.

    Many companies don't give a fuck about number of switches if the candidate is good and especially when you have such legitimate reasons.

    Link this post in your cover letter, you'll start getting calls soon.

    @Floydimus Thanks, will definitely do that!

    Actually, got an offer to lecture software development in a academy (would pay x 0.5 too).

    Brilliant, will do that. My first Glassdoor review! :D

    Checking-in unencrypted secrets into repos is fucked up. They should really fix that. You should come forward with a proposal. If this is a Github or internet hosted repo, they are one click away from a data leak.

    I advise not doing the glass door review until you're gone ;)
