To be honest, at this point in time if you are a good software engineer you really have no need to put up with toxic bullshit at work. I left a job back in January. The type of startup that likes to prey on youthful ignorance. The kind of place that will repeatedly remind you that you are exempt from overtime but shove added unrelated duties and obligations and make you use a time clock. When I was faced with my capitulate or quit situation I didn't hesitate to quit and tell them just how shitty they treat folks. I had a new job that afternoon. Don't be afraid to stick up for yourself. This is a golden age for developers. Learn your worth and don't ask, demand it. To do anything less is doing yourself a great disservice.
