Manager: "yeah so thanks for understanding we can't give you a payrise, by the way we need you to train the new guy we just hired who is your senior because even though he is more experienced than you as a c# dev he doesn't understand what an object is"

Me...

    @soulevans07 to be fair - my suspicions were aroused when he was befuddled by a ref keyword in a method signature and I had to explain what the dif between ref and val is...not that he'd forgotten... He'd never even heard of it...

    Thats because you shouldnt ask for payrise but apply for new job. At your own company. Then teach yourself as more experienced less experienced boss employee.

    Teach him some "best practices" <evil grin>,
    "*Ideally, every program should have only global variables.
    *Aim for a class to have at least a few hundred methods, but if you thinks it's got too many methods you can just remove a few and copy the code to wherever you called the method.
    *Enums are soo complicated, use strings instead.
    *Don't write unit tests. As the system grows they'll just fail anyway."

    etc etc, and then you quit and run as far as you can.

    I'm the most calm person at the workplace but I bet I would freak out after this shit like: "WHAT? YOU WANT ME TO TEACH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MORE THAN ME? WHAT THE FUCK BULLSHIT DID HE TOLD YOU TO BELIEVE HE KNOWS ANY SHIT?"

    @GinjaNinja @soulevans07 yeah honestly I don't understand how some of these people get through interviews - not that hard when its non technical people conducting the interviews... Difficult to get anyone in to some tech roles as well. I did say that it takes the piss and my manager just said that it's the way the world goes and he had the same thing at my age

    Is it the boss' son/daughter or something. That seems very fishy. I'd start looking for new jobs asap.
