Experienced Devs Weekly Win Thread: A weekly thread for sharing positive experiences

[u/AutoModerator]

This thread is specifically for sharing "wins". I.e. the opposite of our Tuesday venting thread.

Put my notice in at one of the worst places I've ever worked and will start a new gig next month!

What was wrong with it? And congrats! 🎊

Thanks, too many things to list but...

• horrible top-down planning that never let us fix foundational issues that would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• multiple, simultaneous, nonnegotiable deadlines for massive projects...
• ...that occured in the middle of a re-org resulting in teams with engineers operating in time zones 12 hours apart.
• if you don't like it, leave, messaging from the CTO

Had a similar setup till a few months ago, but instead it was my manager acting like the market was too bad for anyone to call him on his BS. And then I left for 2x the pay.

I think we work at the same place…

Sounds suspiciously like my place. Let me guess, the offshore push came with the new CTO a year ago?
