And document *everything*, preferably off-site.

Emails, DMs, anything that could come back as "I never said that!?"

Cleaning up old CYA folders (10+ years old) and I found an email where the mgr was upset that I was taking off the week of Christmas saying he never approved that time off (which he has the authority to cancel).
|
|
|
|
I pulled the email I'd backed up from October where *he* approved the request (at that time requests were via email).
|
|
|
|
Not taking it lying down, he replied (in a new email) it was company policy that I re-request time off requests within 7 days of the time off (basically saying I violated policy and my vacation would be canceled)
|
|
|
|
I reply, cc-ing HR, (screen-shot the original convo), and a copy of the time off policy asking HR to clarify the new '7 day' policy I was not aware of.

I never got a reply from anyone.,> "Do you remember how you've found devRant?"
|

Another developer, "John", who I frequently ranted about sent me a link.
|
|
|
|
We would frequently swap links (never posting anything), then eventually the new wore off and he stopped.
|
|
|
|
I continued and eventually started posting, always wondering if "John" ever started to read devrant again.,@Definition7 > "You stay there for 10 years?!"

Lots of ups and downs, that time frame was the lowest. Upside is all those folks have quit or been fired.

Started my CYA journey when users would say (verbally) "Change the button caption to XYZ". I change the caption. A month later "Why is the button caption XYZ? It is supposed to be ABC?" then I get lectured by a VP how I need to do a better job in listening to our users.,@Definition7 > "Respect! Lucky that those folk has gone away"

Or stupidity. My mental health struggled, but I knew if I quit, they'd win.

Quit and walk out being the hardest working SOB in building. Who cares what they think. When you land the next job, you're going to walk a little taller, and others will say "Damn...gotta stay out Tounai's way...he's on a mission!"

"Quiet quitting" is for sissies! Now drop and give me 50 push-ups!!!``` |
