      Right? Plus that last line shows how truly incompetent they were. You know how much you fucked up to be held PERSONLY liable? That mean from the very beginning, you were so wholly incompetent, you didn't do what was required. Whether that was from laziness, greed, or stupidity doesn't matter. This business was doomed from literally the very beginning.

      @@paulineisme this is a an extreme layperson explanation of a complicated legal concept so there might be some stuff missing but the gist is there.
      When you start a business, you can do it in many ways. Partnerships, incorporation etc. There are a few different ways to protect yourself and/or partners.
      One of the first things most do is incorporate.(so any business that has LLC or Inc. are incorporated.) You don't have to do so, but it protects you personally. It basically creates a person called " X corporation." This makes it where any problem the business has stays as a business problem. The problem is that there are specific rules you have to follow to keep that protection. If you do/don't do certain things, mess up the paperwork, or choose the wrong type of business type you do something called "pierce the corporate veil" which essentially takes away that protection and makes a person liable for anything the corporation does.
      You can choose to not do that and most try, but it can easily be messed up if you don't follow certain rules/guidelines.
      TL, DR: Create a new person by incorporating, do business, mess something up, corporate person's debts, liabilities and crimes a responsible are now the responsibility of a specific person/people.

    One thing I’m intrigued about is whether big bro and Eddie had plans to jump ship before OP told them he was leaving, or if leaving was what inspired them to go full time. Cause if it is the first one it really sounds like they were planning on ditching OP with the fallout

      @sofianebessaha2351 3 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      this is just my guess but i think they never liked Chad that but at least tought it would be a doable project but as the deadline came closer shit started hitting the fan with Chad becoming worse and worse ,and the last straw was him deleting all the work OP did and start from scratch so i'd say it was more of a result of chad stupidity than OP quitting

    • @beeziebubs2756
      @beeziebubs2756 3 ปีที่แล้ว +105

      Op mentioned they were waiting for the perfect opportunity to quit so the fallout would hit the company harder. I can’t help but wonder if they were biding their time for when OP quit because he had all of the documentation, and having the two main people working on the project leave at the same time without training the new guy would’ve hurt the most.
      I don’t think they ever intended to leave OP with the fallout because he was going to be the one who kickstarted it.

      There’s a massive amount of monthly, quarterly, and yearly paperwork that must be maintained and filed with the state government to maintain that protection (meeting notes, budgets, corporate structure documentation, etc). If you fail to maintain the paperwork, the protection ceases and you resume personal liability.

      That was the day i learned how that Company shedules Work Orders/Times.
      Product is sold for amount X. Profit wanted is amount Y. X-Y is the Money willing to spend (Z).
      And now Z gets divided by Material costs and Work Time costs.

    First one: Well... he says having the code on a computer with no internet access is pure paranoia, but that is actually a normal security tactic... though everyone having an extra computer to do this is a little overboard. Cyber Attacks are continually on the rise and becoming more and more sophisticated as time goes on. In IT security it is usually not "how to stop cyber attacks," though that is still important and you try your best, but "how to mitigate the damage caused by one," because one getting through is inevitable (and more than likely, more than one get's through). That just shows how bad it is right now.

    first story: dude made his own mess and isn’t telling the full story. he couldn’t find a real job because he screwed up in high school and chose a fraud school that saddled him with debt. he is no angel, he’s not telling everything and manipulating things for himself
    the key thing that makes it fake: getting a job offer just as he reactivates his job hunter profiles…there’s no way in hell that timeframe he’s getting a jib in that field with no degree and barely any experience.

    Man I respect the grind from OP, college dropouts have it really tough. I sometimes wonder if university loans being handed out so flippantly are just a tax on the uncertain. (Like how people say the lottery is a tax on the poor/gullible) People will often drop out because they assumed college was necessity and not just one option for their future. Something tells me if OP enlisted and got a job as a tech, or learned at a trade school, or just went into the market self taught, he would have been just fine.

    I suspect Chad was an amateur programmer who managed to cobble together a glitzy demo that kinda worked if you knew what to avoid, hence it was "not scalable" and the version OP was to write would intentionally be the first real version.

    As an engineer you are not obligated to a schedule that you had no input to or which is done by someone competent.
    I spent years as a test manager and always worked on the schedule.
    I never worked off a schedule dictated to me. NEVER.
    Thats why we ended up finishing 30 days ahead of schedule and $400K under budget for a major upgrade on a DOD contract.
    As a salaried employee, they dont own you. You can challenge their schedule. You just have to be willing to tell them WHY their schedule wont work and walk from the job if they don’t listen.
    No reason to kill yourself for someone else’s profits.

    if you depend on such ridiculous deadlines (4 months for a software is ... ambitious if it does anything interesting) and on your 3 devs ... you don't cut their pay. As a CFO (or CEO) you take your own money to pay your people and ensure the business manages to get to release

He didn't stand up for OP but yet praised and hype OP outside so much and he still carried on working for the shitty company although he left his previous one on good term EVEN after OP left and it seems like his previous company would take him back easy if he so asked. Things don't add up

    Never ever, *ever* treat your employees like they are feces. People don't quit jobs, they quit employers. Treat people like valuable resources and they'll make you lots and lots of money. Treat them like garbage and you'll be lucky to get one week's notice.

    The reason why people think they can push techies around is they think we're replaceable. Not all techies are created equal.
    Side note: San Pedro is pronounced San Pee-dro in LA (there are lots of anglicized versions of names of things that originated from Spanish).

    Canada may not have many workers rights, but one we do have is a right to salary. You cannot have income taken away from you for any reason, only things like bonuses.
    If I get a promotion, and then get demoted, I keep the new higher wage regardless.
    Circle K fired me years ago because they wouldn't pay me my current wages after demotion for missed time, I had kidney stones.
    My unemployment hit their insurance HARD. Wrongful termination.
    They basically paid me 1200$ a month for a full YEAR.
    I took that time to travel.

    If you see rich people giving "advice" on the internet on how to be rich
    Half the pitch is the "full refund" bit, you need to nail that whatever money is put in, will be given back
    But, of course, you are not rich, you can't back up that money, and if you are not rich and do such claim, you are rolling dices with your life, your home, everything that you built until now
