Been on unpaid leave for six weeks until next year, as a prerequisite to not quitting. I’ll start in a new department. The old department sucked.
Yesterday I got The Call. Tomorrow they have a big presentation, possibly with monetary consequences, and certain things don’t work. You know, 10y tech debt ‘suddenly’ being a problem. So I said fine, I’ll come in to talk about it.
I told them I can try to reimplement the whole module in Python and I might actually finish in time (36h notice or so). Ex boss wanted to stick with the thing that ‘works’, so I left. He didn’t think I could do it, so we’re not even trying.
Had a talk with the caller and told him what happened. He said fine, guess we’ll just fall on our faces, then. We’ve done our part.
