Has it ever happened to anyone that you get hired as a backend java developer without going through any sort of evaluation and for some reason you start getting only design/frontend tasks and you politely complain but the dickhead says "well you should be able to do everything, and I want it before tomorrow" but you kind of need the money so "what the hell" and a couple days later you fully remember again how much you hate spending a whole day trying to get a bloody bar sticked to the bottom of the page while some dickass hits your slack and whatssapp with the nerving "where are my screens?" and start thinking "...do I really need to eat this month..." but anyways you make your research and ask for help and stop sleeping and do as much as you can to get the sh*t done and please the dickhead because you want his money?
...Anyone?
...No?
...Just me?
...Oh well, have a nice day/evening

    Welcome! I personally have been through that "do I need to eat and have a roof over my head" point. Long story short, I dont, but my kids do

    When I was a C++ programmer in the early 2000's, the recruiters would always match me to Java programming jobs, because, you know, they're the same. Got fed up, and I've happily, and some times not so happily, existed in the Database Admin world.

    I feel like I'm the one who posted this. This is exactly me right now.

    I think I should work on agriculture and feed myself, rather than working for dickheads..

    Shouldn't we be able to sue these motherfuckers?

    @smb26 well that would make sense if there was any contract lol, this is actually an informal remote job, and actually it's got a lot better by now.

    But it's pretty useful to know that I can actually sue for being forced to do stuff out of my contract, I'll have it in mind for future contracts. Thanks a lot!
