I spend my days as a developer, listening to pandora, modding canned sql, and doing random projects that have nothing to do with the company. I was sold the moon, they delivered shit.

Powerbuilder? You poor son of a bitch. For those of you who don't know what PowerBuilder is, let me explain: PowerBuilder is a programming platform for people who find VB too hard. 10/30/2013 8:54:29 PM |

Seriously though, rarely is your first job a perfect fit. If the pay is decent, and enabling you to save some... Maybe it's not a terrible idea to stay long enough to get "experience" and resume fodder. Make a few connections. Keep looking and learning on your own time, and after a year or two, bounce. 10/30/2013 9:22:01 PM |

Tomorrow is my exit interview, seeing as I was lied to during recruiting for this job should I go balls to the walls and roast everyone in the interview. There's nothing on earth that will make me come back to this company, I'd rather live in a box under a bridge. 2/6/2014 7:58:56 AM |

Dude you worked there what 8 months or something? I know you feel all powerful and I hate to burst your bubble but you are going to be looked at as an imperfessional punk and dismissed without a second thought. 2/6/2014 8:25:13 AM |

one place I worked the "IT" guy's job was to install new computers and make sure they could get on the network, print, occasionally fix crashes, etc.
all he ever did when there wasn't new stuff to put in was play games and unlock computers when people left them "locked" and not "logged out" 2/6/2014 9:25:52 AM |
