drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 2 days agoYeah, i worked briefly at multinational japanese motor company and this was their logic. I was hired as a software developer contractor and HQ had rules stating, no open source software, no free software and the one that puzzled me the most no in house executables (WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HIRE ME?)

How were you supposed to test your software if you weren’t allowed to create an executable?
Tja@programming.dev 2 days ago
You had to go to the balcony to test it.

Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.

Javascript is a part of Java, duh!

I literally had the “Java is to javascript as car is to carpet” conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn’t get it and I had to explain to him that you don’t drive a carpet to work.

So they essentially hired you for no reason and then had to come up with something for you to do?
drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 1 day ago
Yeah, I really don’t understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.
They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn’t even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.

It’s more common than you think.
