Status: While searching all my PCs for any that might have been the actual sole surviving most-updated copy of the code, I booted up a Windows 8.1 machine that I had told to shutdown a few years ago, only to be greeted by "Please wait, installing updates. Don't turn off your computer"....
Yeah, pretty sure those updates have been superseded by now...

Started listening to the Phoenix Project audiobook.
I'm still in the 'hey look how totally fucked this company is' part - it's basically WtfCorp when I started. The geography is alarmingly similar. The characters are alarmingly similar. The situations are alarmingly similar.
I am having terrible anxiety just listening to it because I know the storyline is going to be to transform the company in the same way WtfCorp went - and those of us in the lounge know how well that has gone.

@fbmac said in The Official Status Thread:
Wtfbanking just gave us very hard to get goals for getting our bonus this year.
I just read that as no bonus this year and forgot about that. What did they expect?The first few years I worked at my company we had difficult but meetable goals, and we had (small) bonuses every quarter. The last 2-3 years they've been jacking the goals up to unrealistic levels. This year they didn't even bother announcing them.

@Tsaukpaetra Thanks.
It was sudden, but unfortunately not unexpected. She'd been in poor health for several years.

I can't believe ES6 classes don't have a literal assignment syntax.
Eg.
var user = new User() { name: 'John', surname: 'Smith' }
or even something like:
var user = new User(...{ name: 'John', surname: 'Smith' }) ;
(even if this would allocate a needless throwaway object)
The only way to do assignment is using positional arguments in the constructor (and the pedestrian
ob.foo = bar
afterwards)So stupid and poorly thought out. And python was RIGHT THERE, telling them how to do it right.
WTF were they thinking?

Shit, and here I am ranting about crap.
Condolences.
-
@FrostCat Hey, my condolences.
@cartman82 You know what, it's not crap as such. We work with crap. It's our brainchildren, actually. The problem is that we can't really stay impartial and distanced to that crap. That's the reason for this whole site and forum to exist in the first place, thanks deities we have a place to vent.
I'm sure, in fact, that the crap I have to deal with daily accelerates the pace my own death approaches my diabetic ass, even if by a little bit. Programming kills, they should put it in big print on programming books and IDE splash screens.
-
@cartman82 Even VB.NET has object initializers:
Dim aUser As New User() With {.Name = "John", .Surname = "Smith"}

your company did it on purpose, but management here talking about anything is giving me the sense I'm in wonderland.
I'm already feeling a bit crazy, because they give me very urgent and high priority stuff to do and keep promising in solving deal breaking issues with network access and tools critical for doing it.
My theory is that they lied so much to the higher ups they don't know what to do anymore.
