People that lie, who are dishonest, lazy, don't wish to work hard and look out for their interest before the company's interest are the worst kind of jerks. These jerks are seriously threatened by any kind of person who is not afraid to speak up and call them out to their shenanigans. I've seen this before, where the team was building a skyscraper with cardboard boxes, and the "brilliant jerk" called them out and they fumed and morale was low. The jerk left and the team supposedly started meeting their goals and was releasing faster. Well of course they were! the lone voice that was the gatekeeper was gone and all sorts of garbage was being committed to the code base. The skyscraper went up faster, and one day it came crashing down never to go up again. I was a consultant that saw this. So I always take "jerk" with a grain of salt. Of course, people should be kind, diplomatic, and caring, but they should also tell the truth and the bitter truth. I'm conflicted on the entire training thing, I believe that senior developers should teach, however, unless the company is willing to budget time for that, it is on each person to learn and shore up their skill. The company should train their developers if they are not up to par. Work is were work happens, if you wish to learn and grow, study furiously outside of work. It's your responsibility as someone that represents themselves as a professional and asks to be paid a fair wage to learn. Some of these lessons the "senior developers" can teach are worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, I don't see junior developers cutting checks to them for those lessons. Let me reiterate, work is were work happens. If you are fortunate to find a mentor that is willing to teach you, be grateful for you are blessed. If you apply for a job and the company never talked about training you, it's your responsibility.
