Every fucking time.

They keep putting me into architectural positions now too even though I've stated I'm not ready for those kinds of projects, nor do I want them. FUcking give them to the old people. I get paid as someone who has been here for 2 years, but they expect me to work and have the knowledge of someone who has been here for 20+.

>Guy shares his code by pasting it into an email
>He has been talked to about this multiple times
>He keeps doing it
>Nothing happens

well, honestly is doing you favors for your CV, but it sucks that they don't pay you more, sounds like you have an attitude problem

instead of asking not to be given those jobs, ask for a raise instead.

I've asked for a raise and was granted it. I was underpaid from the start - and now I've got the same pay as an average 2 year employee.

They've already told me "they wont be granting more raises" the next 2 years.

I know it's good for my CV, which is why I'm still here, but I'm gonna bail the fuck out asap since nothing is in order here.

Fun fact - it's one of the biggest companies in my region.

> I get paid as someone who has been here for 2 years, but they expect me to work and have the knowledge of someone who has been here for 20+.

that's why you're getting the positions. You're willing to work for low pay on big projects and doing good enough that they don't need someone more experienced and more expensive

you should be charging more money for your services

Im sure you think so because of
>senior guy sucks and knows nothing. After a week they just stop helping as well.

But when you ask about something completely basic and they ghost you for a week before saying "I'm unsure", then yeah. You'll get sick of it after a while and just stop asking for assistance.

ask for a raise one more time, regardless of what they told you, worst case scenario, you don't get it

try to get a remote job if that's one of the biggest companies in your region

>He likes me though, and I put up with him, but don't like him. But I'm still nicer to him than anyone else on the network team / pc tech team.
>Before he moves over there, he tells me he's gonna get the techs over there fired, get the site manager spot, and then bring me up there with him
>This exact thing happens. One of the PC techs had been stealing shit from work and wasting company resources watching netflix in his cubicle with his girlfriend from another department, and stealing tons of thinkpads/elitebooks and just storing them in his garage.

>Unfortunately he somehow convinces the CIO to give him jurisdiction of the helpdesk/desktopsupport/network team at my previous site
>He mismanages them so fucking poorly that they decide to replace them with an outsourced managed services company
>Due to some HR fuckery, they have to replace all sites if they're going to replace one site, so my site, 9 other sites, as well as the original site, all of us get outsourced, even though it was only one site (the main one) doing so fucking badly that they "needed" to be replaced/outsourced

i ended up quitting there about 18 months later and using my references from how "great a job i did" fixing everything to get more clients for my consulting business. i'm currently on a 24 month legacy support contract for AIX servers. I basically do nothing but post on Jow Forums and get 130k a year.

What is that thing?

>"we should migrate our lambdas to docker"
Brainlet here. What does that even mean?

In corporations everyone gets promoted into their incompetence... or how that saying goes.

I work while going for my M. Sc.

>"Hey user, we need that feature."
>work on it for two weeks
>"Nevermind, customer changed their minds."
>"We need that other feature instead. Luckily, you had two weeks to work on it. Deliver in 3 days."

This is literally my job. I wouldn't mind the first part - if they decide to scrap a feature, I still get paid for the work I put into it.
But, sure. I'll just retcon the half-finished code into a new feature. No biggy.

im about to go get about 1/3 of a full programs certifications. gonna be A+ hardware and networking and shit like that. Hoping I can get some kind of computer repair or help desk entry level job and stop being broke so I can continue going back for the full program

thats a chicken with pants on retard

where the fuck do you live that you've never seen a chicken...?

IT at my company is inept and full of mouth breathers that push out broken applications that I'm forced to use and then won't address the issues I send them.

God forbid you have to interact with someone with "data" in their title that came from a boot camp... Completely useless retards that try to brag about how much DATA SCIENCE they know but can't do any actual work ever

To my experience, "data science" just means they learned data structures but ignored algorithms and any sort of proper programming.
