2nd to last job, the company I worked for lied and got a fat contract. They were trying to make me learn a new language (Farsi) and also try to deploy an app that only ran on Solaris 10 servers. As you know, new Oracle (Sun) servers run on Solaris 11, Solaris 10 had to be virtualized. It was nothing like VMware.
Last job I quit, I had to be on these stupid-assed kanban scrum calls or whatever and participated every day. My story is that my manager has never contacted me and has set no goals/projects/deliverables. One day on a customer call, I got a question directed to an employee I had just fired, my iphone would not respond so it took me nearly a minute to respond. I took up that person's role, learned the gig, and had a valid, tech response. My boss called me after and dressed me down, womansplaining how an iphone works in Teams. The next day, I was in Zoom with cross-functional teams and my CEO was in the call as, well, he was just being a dick. I told him to fuck himself in a private text and we were going to separate. This company owes me close to $10k in expenses as I had to be at trade shows, have custom embroidered clothing, etc. I'm going to 1099 this company for the expenses.
