Yeah, I do coding. I think the same. Nothing except money. The code base is old and I'm advised to follow the same coding pattern, copy paste and make changes.

Yeah, I do coding. I think the same. Nothing except money. The code base is old and I'm advised to follow the same coding pattern, copy paste and make changes. No new looking or different code allowed even if it is new and great technique. Boss doesn't want to learn and manage it if I'm gone. The man is fine during lunch, nice talk but once we get into office, it's pin drop silence. I once asked what should I do today, what should I work on. He says "Sip coffee, lay back and enjoy the day. Can you do that? " I was speechless ! :)
- scient 11y agoYou should be handing in your two weeks notice right now. This place sounds like an awful company to work at, and the boss sounds like a complete idiot. Seriously, quit right now.
- psmech 11y agoIt seems like a very bad place to work in. If you're coder, you can surely find something better. Your boss should be left with no workers so that he can learn it's not the way to run business. This is not even micromanagement. Just take away the pay and it's pure slavery. What I'm used to is unlimited holidays, time to work on own projects, as many breaks and as long as I need. But this is standard way to treat coders in Dublin (Ireland). Listening to music? Please, we're even given headphones if we want. I hope your company is just the odd one out. Just move asap.
- panjaro 11y agoWow ! I envy you but you must be really good at what you do !
