I searched this page for the string &quot;lawyer&quot; and didn&#x27;t find it yet. I hope you can see why. I would ask your lawyer about the laws about constructive dismissal in your jurisdiction, and generally what your rights are.<p>Ideally, you would be able to find a new workplace before suing their asses, and you would get some sort of settlement. Of course it&#x27;s not a risk everyone would take, have a think about the situation. Perhaps the AWS job is still open?<p>I would definitely leave though. Having a person who can&#x27;t code in charge of coding is a bad idea, and it can only get worse with the deadline looming. Coding is not like doing a bunch of slides, where you can suddenly cut the scope and still have something that works. (Why did I bring that up? Because if you&#x27;re doing a non-coding project, you can often just chop the scope and still have something.) They&#x27;ve broken Brook&#x27;s Law by adding people near the deadline AND they then lost those people, deservedly.<p>You&#x27;re also being positioned for the blame, showing they simply don&#x27;t know what they&#x27;re doing. How are they going to deliver anything with you and an intern? The least fair thing that can happen is you and the intern produce a sub-par product, and you then get the blame. Your company loses the contract, or the bosses find some other people to do the work under a different name, and you get the boot. Sorry if I sound cynical, I just don&#x27;t want you to suffer.
