Let's assume that leaving right now is not an option. Recognizing that efforts from the lower ranks will have limited upside, what can I possibly do outside of gritting my teeth as I continue to suffer with this awful software?
- inerte 16y agoSuggest to outsource what's not the company core competence (buy a product or hire a sofware development team). Or fight for the resources and do it yourself. Or start to manage the software development, if you think you could do better. Keep a spreadsheet of the bugs/feature requests. Send emails asking for dates, do QA and test releases before they hit the client. Or stage a mutiny and displace the bosses. But anyway it looks like you can't do anything about the situation, because you're not the development boss. Sometimes it's better to accept that there things you can't control, and life goes on.
- seasoup 16y agoI don't know your particular circumstances, but barring a personal reason for not being able to leave... It's your first job in the industry that you just started last week and your father in law gave you the position, it is always an option to leave. And when you do leave, you will feel better for having done it.
