Yet despite being assholes (ruthless in their parlance) who obviously have not on-boarded said employee or even told him what is expected of his code, I doubt their software has any less bugs than the software from shops who are not assholes (ruthless in their parlance). Sounds like a great reason to avoid working here and other places that have the same mentality. If you want your coworkers to actually do their work, it&#x27;s a really good idea not to be an asshole because it&#x27;s incredibly easy to get away with not doing shit in tech while seeming to do so and after awhile, most people will switch to that mode when berated long enough. I can&#x27;t blame them. Employers deserve no loyalty in the US these days because they don&#x27;t give any.
