You're a junior dev, someone tells you something is needed, you work hard on it. I guess you learn to question your boss as to whether it's really needed, but that sometimes isn't optimal, either.

- wbsss4412 5y agoAs a junior, you really shouldn’t be constantly maneuvering around your immediate supervisor up the chain of command. Either your supervisor is good, and you need to trust them, or they are bad and you are likely SOL. Ultimately an organization who is holding a junior directly responsible for high level project decisions that were made in concert with their supervisor, is a bad organization.
