| Oct 5, 2020 at 21:15 | comment | added | TomTom | @RafM.I consdier the idea that an employee is responsible for "solving all problems" that affect him - contrary to moving on and finding a place that is sane -estremely childish. The world does not care about one lonley employee and there are books written about "not quitting" (Don Quichote, i.e.). It normally does not end well. When AN EMPLOYEE is the target of morong company policies and culture, moving on is sane and I do not care whether people in ivory towers think this is not a soluition. AN EMPPLOYEE is not paid to solve the company. he is not the CEO. | |
| Oct 5, 2020 at 20:19 | comment | added | gnasher729 | @user8365 I bet OP had that experience long before he started. The only experience he gained is that there are unscrupulous leeches who will profit from your hard work if you let them. | |

| May 3, 2018 at 8:44 | comment | added | Raf M. | "Quit your job" is not considered an acceptable answer on Workplace Stack Exchange. As in many cases it actually is a good advice, it doesn't solve the problem presented to the community by OP. Job quitting is a way of avoiding the problem. | |
| May 3, 2018 at 6:20 | comment | added | John Marcus | I have sent the email that I added in the post and will update with the results. Depending on the boss' reply and the tech lead's reaction this may be my next step. Thank you! | |
| May 2, 2018 at 19:49 | comment | added | TomTom | That may be true, but I generally avoid working with people that have no morale at all and are not over criminal behavior (because all this WILL influence who gets a raise/promotion/bonus). I have repeatedly called out this behavior in teams - and not in the "I call HR" style but in my signature "letter to legal and CEO threatening to forward this for prosecution". | |
| May 2, 2018 at 19:37 | comment | added | John Marcus | These were my initial thoughts, but I'd try to avoid quitting after so little time. The experience + the opportunity to mentor juniors is not to be left so easily. | |
| May 2, 2018 at 19:26 | comment | added | user8365 | The OP is getting a lot of quality experience even though he has a bad boss. This will help him land a better job, but I wouldn't be in a hurry. There are plenty of other bad bosses out there. | |
