Many years ago, I once took a law firm's document management system offline for 2 days by accident, stayed up for 2 days straight trying to fix it. Once things were running relatively smoothly (reverting to a backup from a week earlier), I went on vacation that I had scheduled 2 months in advance the next week. When I got back from vacation, I literally walked into the foyer of the office at 9am on Monday morning and my boss called me into his office and proceeded to scream at me then fire me.
If you see the writing on the wall, you should do yourself a favor and just quit before they fire you, if you can afford it. If you need unemployment benefits, which they will probably contest for "failure to perform duties" or some bs, you can always counter-contest. I did, and still got them. I basically forced them to fire me cause I knew if I quit I wouldn't get any unemployment.
Start looking for a new job right now.
Also, sounds like their backup system sucks, like ours did.
I already have a new job offer lined up and everything, second company is ready to hire me today actually. There are multiple points of failure in this one, the system itself is working off one function point, no distribution mechanism, no standardized mocking system, doing unit tests by straight calling the API (this is a big NO in most places i have worked, you NEVER call the API directly for testing, you mock the services), no services or architecture. By the leads own words, the system was built and rushed out in 2 days and now theyre going back in and "fixing" it, i just happened to be the guy that fucked it all up
If it makes you feel any better, the array I took down by accident, trying to fix failing backups because of a corrupted LUN, was documented as a RAID-6, but was in actuality a RAID-5, so when I pulled the second drive all hell broke loose.
If you already have an offer set in stone, no sense in staying, just walk out.
In my case they were doing a system upgrade for the system and it failed to start. Essentially they were trying to merge two systems into one, and had me do the entire job of developing, testing, deployment, post deployment testing, etc. Needless to say, I caused many problems in the process because as it turns out, ive only worked there for a month, so clearly i have no fucking clue what im doing yet. You miss dedicated QA teams when you dont have one at all
You just answered your own question. You have ready employment. Make today your last day. Clean out your things, get ready to depart. Why have loyalty to a company that shows none?
True, companies dont give a shit about you, so why should i care about them?
