‘Please come back': Programmer laid off in favor of new college grad hire, management desperately attempts to rehire him after finding out all their files are deleted

‘Please come back': Programmer laid off in favor of new college grad hire, management desperately attempts to rehire him after finding out all their files are deleted

People get laid off all the time. Especially when you're over 40. See, companies like to hire new kids, fresh out of college, ones who will conform easily to policies, and accept jobs for way less pay. Then, the companies realize their mistake, and they pay dearly for it. Because these new hires have no idea what they're doing. They can't code, build prototypes, and make the customer happy. This senior programmer was laid off after new management swooped in and hired a new kid. The programmer k…

'Meet me at the courthouse': Coder brings 500 pages of evidence to judge to get back at their boss

'Meet me at the courthouse': Coder brings 500 pages of evidence to judge to get payback on their stingy boss

This company just kept stringing their coder along without ever paying a dime. Working a side hustle has become the norm for many Americans. Inflation means that prices have never been higher. We're all renting instead of owning houses. Lots of millennials are even still living with their parents to save a few bucks! Even if you work 40 hours per week like this programmer did, it still might not be enough to cover all your expenses and have a little extra fun money. It wasn't enough for this du…

‘I did the workload of 3 people’: Computer science student spends over 150 hours on the code for a group project, doing the workload of 3 people; his team takes credit for all of it

‘I did the workload of 3 people’: Computer science student spends over 150 hours on the code for a group project, doing the workload of 3 people; his team takes credit for all of it

School group projects are never divided equally, and one person always ends up doing the workload of everyone else. The annoying part in this (besides doing more work than you should), is that everyone still ends up getting credit. When I was in high school, I had to make a movie. Okay, I exaggerated, and that sounds a little more impressive than it actually ended up being. We were put in a group of 4 and were told we had to come up with an idea for a 10-minute film. Then we had to pick a locat…

 'I sent all these voicemails and screenshots to my module organizer': Group project leader won't give all members equal credit for coding project

'I sent all these voicemails and screenshots to my module organizer': Group project leader refuses to give all members equal credit for coding project

Group projects only work if everyone involved has to be accountable for their portion of the work. But as you'd know if you've ever had to do a group project, that's not usually how it goes down. Professors seem to love group projects — maybe it's less work for them to grade if they make all the students work together. Some teachers will claim that working in collaboration with your fellow students can make you a better leader or communicator. College isn't like the real world, though. If you h…

'Fine, I'll leave you alone': Teacher gets even with team of students, they miss MVP project deadline, fail program

'Fine, I'll leave you alone': Teacher gets even with team of students, they miss MVP project deadline, fail program

Though the days we fretted about exams are far behind us, we can still remember the bitter taste in our mouths as we bit our nails, staring gloomily out into the distance through our dorm windows, the background noise upping our stress levels. Being a student sucks, we get it. But that's no excuse to disregard someone else's time, much less a mentor who isn't actually receiving any money for doing their job. In this case, an IT mentor volunteered to teach students code, IT, and MVP. The team of…

'Sorry, I've got a new job now': Boss insists employee delete all backup files in order to save money, has major regrets

What this boss says goes, so this employee just did exactly as his manager asked him. Some bosses just always have to be right, no matter what their employees say. U/oldman712 shared this excellent tale of malicious compliance , and commenters then shared their own tales below. As the OP wrote, he was a software prototype designer who usually worked with individual clients. He'd save their projects on various terabytes, which the actually bought with his own money! While the OP cared about his…
