So I would like to rename VendingMachine to Controller and have a VendingMachine model where I move #vend and #refund to it. I'm also not very happy with #menu being this large in LoC. What would you guys recommend?

I don't need to deal with it. I asked how most of you deal with it.

I enjoy hard programming challenges, I'm not saying I don't enjoy them. I'm saying, how do you deal with stress of tight schedules and deadlines AND having to solve a hard programming problem.

I understand, but combine stress with pressure from your employer, deadlines and such. And then you get real stress. That's what I'm referring to, how do you deal with that? I'm not saying I don't enjoy challenges of sol

Some of you guys are misunderstanding me, I also enjoy the challenge of solving real problems. But mix that with the pressure from your employer and deadlines and you get even more stress. This is what I'm referring to. How do you deal

I called him out and conforonted him yesterday, I was leaving the office and the conversation was something along the lines of: Me: "I'm leaving." Boss: "Okay." Me: "Can I ask you for a favor?" Boss: &quot

I see, thanks.

IKR, they call me immigrant or by my nationality like it's a bad thing. Nikola Tesla, Linus Torvalds and other great scientist/engineers were/are also immigrant and they changed the world. I'm proud of who I am.

1. It doesn't matter if it's illegal or not, nobody should ever have to put up with any of that crap. 2. Same as with bullying, nobody should ever tolerate this bullshit. 3. Flirting is harassment if the other party is not interes

The headphones are not the problem here, but thanks for pointing out the health issue. I'll try listening to music in a moderate volume. I'll seek for new employment.

I can do that, but chances are that it won't change anything. He mentions to the development team that workers quit from his company with a smile on his face. He apparently finds abuse and developers quitting from his company amusing.

HR never does anything. They're there to get the company out of liability as someone else said it here. This is why I support workers over capitalists. I'll find another job. I'm very confident with my skills that I won'

Indeed, and I will talk about this to coworkers that have been nicer with me, those same coworkers have also been mistreated by the boss. I'll say something about the boss during lunch break and I'll see how they respond, I'm

Thanks for your advice, but with 15 years of Linux/Unix experience, I think I'm very well qualified for most positions. Thank you. The points you make and the advice you gave me is excellent though. Thanks. I just haven't pro

What for? I'm using an anonymous handle right now, and I'm not sure I'd like to reveal my identity that easily.

There's a chance he probably won't care at all, and I'm sure he knows he is being an ass. As I mentioned, I didn't eat at all yesterday and I asked the boss if I could leave earlier to eat. He said I couldn't and th

Oh, they also mentioned I'm not allowed to eat pork (or derived) in the company because they are Jewish. I believe this is just one of the first "not allowed" from a long list. Fucking hell.

I can't relocate, it's not that simple. I tried to relocate, but companies in other cities just don't want to give me a job, they probably think it's harder to hire me as I have yet to move to the actual city where the j

Thanks. Rails gigs are good for getting some extra income, but my experience is that they don't last, and there's no way I can live only with remote gigs. I mean, I've been freelancing for years and living off remote work for

I don't think I'll lawyer up over this, unless something really bad starts to happen. I know, and I think he was racist with me and others. Even some of the employees were racist towards a coworker. It really is very nasty. The pr

The problem with looking for new work is that there's not much work related to IT in my area, and I think they know this and therefore abuse us. Moving to a larger city is more expensive and harder, therefore I'll have to put up w

Yes, it's reasonable, but the office is not generally quiet. They keep talking and laugh all the time. They just pick on me because I'm an immigrant and a introvert.
