This might work for you, but I'd say in general this sounds like a fairly unhealthy workplace. Poor engineering practices (when exactly do the tests get written if not day by day?) and negative co-workers? You have to distrust someone pretty strongly to call them a "hardcard manipulator"
- b0rsuk 8y agoYes, I distrust him strongly because he consistently works to undermine me. He doesn't upset me anymore because he's predictable and I understand what he's trying to do - make me lash out and discredit me. I could take it to my boss, but then it would be my word vs his word, and I'm not 100% sure my boss is who he appears to be. Maybe he just pretends to be a nice person. I wont take such risk so early in my new job, not after almost 3 years of unemployment. I don' think I have to do anything - I'll leave him in the dust because he's lazy. Yet overall, this workplace is the healthiest I worked in. You have to paint the overall picture. My boss cares about good software practices and treats people well. He appears honest. His expectations are realistic. Work time is very flexible.
- b0rsuk 8y agoThe bad practices are mostly on the part of our client company. They understand they painted themselves into a corner, they are afraid to touch it anymore and are glad someone took it over from them. They loosened our deadlines because we're working with a giant hairball. I still think they have a problem with practices, but they're getting there.
