Why the fuck they keep insisting a backend developer to do frontend shit?

No fucking shit I'm slow on this crap. And i told them several times it's not my forte.And they keep inisting to keeping a high standard blah blah blah

Ffs just hire a frontend already.

I'll find another job. I don't care at this point.

For me it's the other way around

because they don't understand devs aren't the same

@darksideofyay Very true. One designer was surprised I didn't have Photoshop installed or didn't know what figma was.

manager: Lets expands Jed's capabilities.

Jed: Fucking hate management!

manager: Jed doesn't want to learn. Lets give the raise to Sally and make her a senior.

They'll use all kinds of B.S. so they don't pay more money to hire another developer.

Not everyone is full-stack. I am but I've been siloed to front-end. And when you inquire if there could be some back-end work too, you'll be shuffled to complete back-end work. Like, I'd like to do a bit of both, a full cycle of a feature from db to front, is that too much to ask. ;_;

But yeah, this happens when the administrative people don't really understand the difference. Nor anything involved in programming..."Add a completely new element with complex background behaviour in the middle of other elements - less than 1 work day" "Form a from-to date string from one month forward from now to this month next year - omg that must take a week"
