Because you're the best the company could find and afford to get into the position to maybe fix the problem. Lamenting an unskilled workforce or not having the perfect developer for a given task is just professional entitlement.
Your job is to work with the team and the resources you have. Why are you daydreaming about things you don't?
- thrower123 5y agoThere's often an issue where people do not make any progress towards becoming useful, and do not show any promise of being capable of becoming a net contributor. At this point, you can fire them, silo them off the critical path, move them into other work, or just keep jamming a square peg in a round hole. But it wears on the people who have to take up the slack and do, or re-do, that person's work.
