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
Brutal. lol
Yeah, as much as I hate working for a giant company with it's diversity bullcrap, there are a lot more layers of accountability and way less risk taking because they have the money to curtail risk. Small companies suck in this regard, they're very wild-west shoot by the hip, cut costs. I worked for small MSPs (IT Managed Service Providers) for years and man it was brutal sometimes.
If you’ve only been there a month you’re definitely going to be a fall guy. I work in tech and I see companies set up new hires to fail all the time. Most management in tech subscribe to some bullshit business model that they follow to the letter. They start with the premise that their business model is perfect and that offloads the burden of them needing to think and adapt.
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?
