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.
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.
