@jestdotty I got laid off once. Before I left I went to everyone I worked with to get a review of my work and gave it to the deciding manager. He called me back later and asked if I wanted to come back. I told him no. I still needed a job. I got my first eng job after that. Quadruple pay of what I was getting before.

@jestdotty "by this point I'd be game being a manager and just coasting" - of course you would

I get the rage
But did anyone else get 5/5?
People can have very different ideas about grades.
Just talked to some people about how they rate restaurants and one said ”if there’s no problem my default is 5/5. The other day I was a place that was rude and gave me the wrong food. So I just gave it 4/5”.
The other said ”if it’s solid it’s 3/5. Most local places here are not above 3/5. To get 4/5 I want something special, a unique experience. 5/5 means it’s one of the best ever” -
I got 5/5 but I didn't get any raises
they said I was good "for my experience level" 🙄
this continued
I got maximum bonuses but bonuses are a % of your salary and my salary was very low
then they realized I was taking more than the maximum of the bonuses I'm supposed to have so they cut my bonuses... zzzz
cuz you could get up to 3% of salary per quarter review (based on your rating)
but you're not supposed to get more than 5% of your salary in bonuses per year or something weird like that
also bonuses were flat taxed at 50%, wheee -
@jiraTicket i am not a fucking potato that anyone can compare and berate me by saying "i am not the best potato they tasted"
i am a freaking fireman who is goving his 200% to ensure that your company not only doesn't get burned but also remains functional and holistic enough for newcomers to grow
as a dev we are supposed to complete pur tasks with perfection, we are not responsible for giving orgasms with our code
I AM IN RAGE !!! MY MANAGER IS A FUCKIN SNAKE ASSHOLE!
FUCKER RATED ME 3/5 !
i feel like destroying my laptop and putting my papers right away. this is absolute shit hole of a company where corporste bullshit and multi level hierarchy runs the system, ass licking is the norm and still me, a lowly sde dev 1 was giving my 200% covering their bullshit to deliver outputs on time.
let me tell you some stats.
- our app has grown by 2x installs and 5x mau.
- only 3 devs worked on the app. the other 2 can vouch for my competence.
- we were handled an app with ugliest possible code full of duplication, random bugs and sudden ANRs. we improved the app to a good level of working
- my manager/tl is such a crappy person that if asked about a feature out of random, he will reply "huh?" and will need 2 mins to tell anything about it.
- there is so much dependency with other teams and they want us to talk to them personally. like hell i care why backend is giving wrong responses. but i cared, i gpt so good handling all these shit that people would directly contact me instead of himal and i would contact them. all work was getting done coz 1 stupid fellow was spending 90% of his time in coordinations
- i don't even know how to work with incompetence. my focus is : to do my task, fix anything that is broken that will relate to my task in any way and gather all the stuff needed to complete my task
i am done. i cannot change this company because its name is good and i am already feeling guilty about switching my previous jobs in 1 year but this is painful.
in my first company i happily took a 10% hike coz i was out of college and still learning.
in my 2nd company, i left due to change in policies ( they went from wfh to wfo and they were in a different state) , but even while leaving they gave a nice 30% hike
in my current company idk wjat the no. 3 equates to , but its extremely frustrating knowing a QA who was so incompetent, he nearly costed us a DDOS got the same rating as me
