Yeah, this company is in life support, then.
There is this other company where there are a handful of the shittiest managers I have ever heard of in my whole career. As a result, most key engineers are leaving, and the company is ramping up hires.
They don't seem to understand that it doesn't matter how many more people you hire, if all the know-how and leadership has vanished already.
- exdsq 5y ago> if all the know-how and leadership has vanished already. The final nail in the coffin after this happening is a software rewrite by the bad quality hired because A) maintaining and extending software is hard 2) it's even harder without any original engineers around to guide designs 3) it's easy to blame people who aren't there for your issues so "the existing software sucks". I've seen this happen a few times.
