He wasn't going to offer you a paid role ever. You did the right thing by leaving.
Also, never take an unpaid internship role off the back of a job interview for a paid role. If you really want one of those (I wouldn't advise that unless there's really no other option tbh) then look around specifically for internships. -
@Elyz I don't mind that if it's something I can change. I walked into my current job and they were using no version control at all - but that was one of the first things I sorted out.
-
@AlmondSauce You’re right! He’s full of it
-
@AlmondSauce @Elyz I really wanted to fix that. Especially since that’s the only time I’ve ever seen anything so crazy. Four devs slacking code snippets back and forth, trying to see if their local repos match is insane.
-
@Chrollo Sure, and if you were employed there (paid) and your employer seemed reasonable and wanted to work with you, then I'd say go for it.
Unfortunately, none of those things seem to be true. -
@Chrollo oh no. The wasted time.. I can imagine. And what I'm imagining is painful.

@JohanO I currently work for a beer brewery client, so at lest I do have some free beers (above agreed salary of course) 😂
-
@filthyranter unpaid internships are just rephrased slavery let's be honest!
(have i done it? Yes I have 😔) -
@ananaszjoe Now guess why it's illegal around here. :)
-
@rant1ng I’m sorry! Really wish I was. I actually tuned it down because I thought it’d be too long
-
@geronimo America 😕
-
@Chrollo well, that's helpful 😅
-
@geronimo Haha New York, USA
-
@Chrollo damn, I'm from the 3rd world, I thought you were from around here judging by your rant 😂
-
@Elyz 99% of places out there believe that version control is passing a usb around
-
@geronimo is Argentina really a third world country? Y'all boludos seem to be living life over there.
-
@AleCx04 sometimes we think we are not, then comes the inflation to remind us that we are 😅
-
@Chrollo
Expose the name of that company, they deserve to be publicly shamed. -
@AleCx04 please don't say such horrible things :(
-
@stillwater Ha! Perhaps... But the big problem wasn’t lack of version control, it was absence of payment** I worked for free because I didn’t have experience. If I didn’t have the experience, then I shouldn’t have been put in charge of these two teams. If I’m gonna work like a dog, pay me. Sounds good?

I hate these kinda bosses. They tend to be a most efficient CEO or whatever with the slogan "make something out of nothing". But its clearly a slavery and a crime. Fuck their way of proving themselves great saying "I was thinking of these and that for you ....." when someone decides to leave and I bet you it is just a lie. These peoples are mafias.

@Fjord I don't know, but I want some!
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Me: *Applies for entry level full-stack job*
Recruiter: "Sorry, I can't hire you because you don't have the years of experience we're looking for. We can take you on as an intern! Unpaid of course, while we train you."🙂
Clueless Me: "Sure, why not."
*second day into the internship*
Boss: "I have this really big project, and I want you to be the lead. I'm going to be very vague about what I want, so you'll constantly have to make changes to user stories, wireframes, & database designs until I'm satisfied. Don't ask me any questions for clarity, because I'm busy 🙂"
Silly Me: "okay"
Boss: "Also, can you train all the other interns? You're so lucky! You'll get to pick the best to join your team" 🙂
Stupid Me: "okay"
Boss: *emails me a spreadsheet of 80 Front-End interns (freshmen and sophomores)*
"Did you start building the app yet?" 🙂
Me (Dummy): "You haven't approved the final wireframes ye-"
Boss: "And for the other interns' training, what did you have in mind?" 🙂
Me (Dumbass): "I made a training guide, they're already followi-"
Boss: "My project manager for this other project left, guess he couldn't handle the pressure of a real job... HAHAHAHA! You're gonna take the lead of that project, too!"
*Adds me to the slack group* 😁
Me (Imbecile): "Wha-"
Boss: "And we've been having trouble with keeping track of everyone's code. Is there something we can do instead of slacking code snippets back and forth?" 🤔😮
Me (Fucking Imbecile): "Wait, you guys are working on a project and you don't have any form of version control? Maybe we should take a few steps back and plan thi-"
Boss: "Are you gonna take initiative or not!?" 😡
Me (Enlightened): "I quit." 😑
Former Boss: "Too bad... I was going to offer you a paid role tomorrow morning. Oh well!" 😔
