Why I got fired? Who knows. You tell me #GamerGate


I've been working on a pretty big project and some how in a software development company have been the only one coding. Okay, fine, fair enough I have the most experience. That #GamerGate stuff set the project back but it was fine. I made up for all the code I needed to. So the last two weeks I've been working remotely as it allows me to get more done. I had 3 deliverables for Monday which consisted on rewriting some system DLLs, converting an older database to a newer format and getting the core to a new widget written. I rewrote the DLLs, I wrote the core to the new widget and even then some more by getting it functioning some on the front end. Mind you without live database because I had yet to convert the one I had to. This was delayed due to the fact some issues existed in it. When I presented this information I was told I failed because "It didn't do as expected"

I asked what my boss meant, but he kept going on about how the data wasn't live so I was a failure, I wrote this nice pdf for him to read the night before.

He didn't read it.

So come yesterday I was told to figure out how to get data into one field. I asked him what he meant, that tiny number? Is it in the database? Then the user will configure that field and it will be sent by the client. He insisted it was something more than that and that I needed to figure out the calculation and send it to him.

I asked him if that data was in the database or not and was told

"I'm not going to help you, I won't do your job for you, figure it out"

So I sent this email today.

straight forward right? I have bigger fish to fry and I'm not even to that point of the application yet. What do you want? Explain it to me and I can get it done.

But nope, I get a call waking me up from my beauty sleep to have my boss say

"I got your email, I'm not happy, it looks like this isn't going to work out. I don't need someone screwing around."

Having just woke up I was confused "What do you mean?"

Only to be interrupted seconds earlier by "I'm not going to talk to you, I'll send your check"

I said okay and hung up, fucks given after being told I'm not going to talk to you are very low.

I wrote this software on my own, one project manager and another person to handle mysql related stuff. But I took on coding thousands of lines of code by my own. And I got accused of fucking around.

Fuck him.

Never again will I be underpaid to be belittled.
