I don't know what the f is going on but I've solved about 8-9 major things there (code) and not a single one has been allowed to go in. The boss has even taken a major hit because others (everyone) knows these improvements are vital but for some mumbling reason they're not allowed to go in.

For instance -

I just found out the program was spawning new processes with "inherit file descriptors" set. Basically if the parent program had a file open, the spawned program is also holding open that file and doesn't even know it. Even if it's ie ffmpeg. The parent program has no idea which files the spawned process might have inherited so it has no way to know which files it may not be able to reopen or delete in the future.

There are a shit ton of totally different types of processes that spawn and they all are forced to inherit. Normal processes like ffmpeg or ftp programs etc. The code is obviously a generic process spawner not some sort of advanced parent process duplicator. So obviously all these processes forcing inherit was some sort of copy paste mistake.

Yet the boss says "there was probably a reason it was done that way". Brah. You're retarded but you can't possibly be that retarded. This code can not be allowed to stand and to let it is deliberately sabotaging the code.

To put this in perspective the company has actually lost a full client because a feature I was assigned AND SOLVED within 48 hours was not allowed to go in. Not only was it solved but it was solved against my bosses BEST attempts to sabotage my ability to work on the issue. He denied me access to 3 different things I needed to work on the problem at all. I had to get other people to log in to them while I zoomed with them, completely wasting their f'ing time and they were pissed.

He referred to me as "wasting everyone's time" 3 times while SOLVING IT. It's SOLVED.

So he just flat out took the issue back and hasn't done anything with it since. I have no f'ing clue but my only imagination is he is waiting until I leave on my own accord so he can make up whatever story he wants and just implement what I did and claim he did it.

He's trying to keep you down so you don't surpass him.

Hm, I see...

In most companies, it's not just about who's best at what, nah

It's mostly about who's going to fuck who, and the mega boss and the under bosses they want what? They want a piece of shit that will lick their shoes and stab anyone on demand, and will be thankful for being given those task...

It's a world of hypocrites, cowards and vile backstabbers

Never miss an occasion to shut your mouth, and keep your ears wide open... And remember; this isn't your dad's company, you don't have to give a fuck. They do shit? Encourage them, tell them they are just great... That's how it works. Don't be that guy stopping the circle jerk, the party pooper telling the truth... They don't like that... I know, it's garbage... But here's the deal; if you're in the position you're describing, it's precisely because you infringed upon the "etiquette" above... You've probably been too honest, too generous, for your own sake, essentially...
