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.

In the beginning I had to go to other superiors twice to simply just state what was actually happening behind the scenes because otherwise he was going to succeed in destroying my reputation / job. He was running me on fools errands to waste my time, when I completed it anyways to the T then not allowing it to be committed, not allowing me access to things needed to work on the task while acting like I was just dragging feet in front of others.

At the rate he's so flagrantly sabataged another employee's ability to do work that was doing great, important work and personally wasn't an issue to anyone, I could have and still could have got him fired. However to be honest I don't want to get anyone fired working somewhere just 3 months at a place I'm already getting paid half what I could elsewhere so I already know I am going to leave. He has serious deep knowledge of the code, not necessarily the smartest, maybe he's actually lost iq over time but in some ways brilliant. I don't want the person fired I just want decoupled, get excellent work done and to get through 3-4 months so I can get a new job. Or at least get an offer that let's them counter offer with a proper pay.
