Engineer: currently only 2 both working on 2 projects already and they can't manage already
Boss : hmm hire 1 more enuff?
Engineer : not enough la, we need like a team of 5.
Boss: 5? You crazy. I can't get approval from BU head la.
Engineer : then 3
Boss: I can only justify 1 then we see how when the project is closer.
Engineer : OK then hire an experienced developer.
Boss : expensive la. Fresh grad can la.
Engineer : fresh grad don't have experience la.
Boss : give fresh grad a chance la, also they are cheaper.. When project come in we find an experienced one. Otherwise we setup 5 developers no project come in how to justify the manpower. Cannot feed their mouth la.
Engineer : OK but if hire fresh grad management need to be aware that it will be fresh grad quality.

Engineer : fresh grad working on it.
Boss : can ask the fresh grad come see me.
Fresh grad : yeas boss?
Boss: so how's the project? When can see something? Senior management asking to see something.
Fresh grad : not yet. Still learning and settinf up framework.
Boss : need how long more?
Fresh grad : maybe 3 to 6 months?
Boss : so long? How long you worked on this project already?
Fresh grad : around 3 months.
Boss : how come so slow?
Fresh grad : I need time to learn. Got such thing call learning curve and no one is teaching me or training me.
Boss : 3 months too long la. I think we need monthly progress update now. Cause can't see anything.

Fresh grad : grumble grumble *I'm not even paid 5k* expects me to deliver senior level work.
Engineer : please la, we didn't even want to hire you. We wanted an experienced software developer cause we don't think fresh grad can do the work. Not enough time
Fresh grad : this place sucks! Time to find new job.

Fresh grad : update LinkedIn put all the fake responsibilities like "designed system A" bla bla bla while nothing real was done...
Fresh grad : throw letter.

Boss : why you resign?
Fresh grad : better opportunity.
Boss :.... Ask the engineer come in

Engineer : yes boss?
Boss : did you know fresh grad resigned?
Engineer : dunno but I already don't expect fresh grad to be able to do the work.
Boss : then how?
Engineer : hire experienced developer as replacement.
Boss : where to find?
Engineer : not my problem. You are the manager or I am?
Boss : you see the fresh grad work see can salvage what. Ask him properly handover document.
Engineer : fresh grad can you demo us the work and let us see the source coccinellids?

Fresh grad : my code is very messy now. I dunno which is latest.
Enginer: erm you don't have source code control meh?
Fresh grad : no. I just backup code.
Engineer : erm OK just pass me whatever you have and document it so I can handover it to the next fresh grad who join. But we need to see at least a prototype. Can you show us? Demo?

Fresh grad: OK
Engineer : so how is the demo? You're leaving next week already.
Fresh grad : yeah still working on the documentation.
Engineer : erm so you been working in this for total 9 months now and there is no working software? Can I say that?

Fresh grad : got some modules are working la. Not the whole software.
Engineer : can demo us?
Fresh grad : sure but takes time to setup etc. Not easy
Engineer: show us the working one then.. We just want to have a feel..

Fresh grad : OK give me some time to setup.
Engineer : how? Tomorrow your last day, we can't sign your exit clearance if we still can't see anything
Fresh grad : I swear it was working. I think I changed some code last week now not working. Still trying to figure out...
Engineer : sigh nvm la. Just pass me the documentation.
Fresh grad : here you go.
Engineer : erm. Just one page?
Fresh grad : yeah no time. Was setting up demo.
Engineer : then can see demo?

Engineer : OK ty good luck for your future. Keep in touch.
Fresh grad : ty.
Engineer : delete contact and block forever.

Boss : so how?
Engineer : fresh grad pass me this. Nothing was work. Documentation was bare minimum. Basically nothing was done.
Boss: how come we let the fresh grad do nothing for 9 months.
Engineer : not my job to micro manage, I'm already busy with my existing project.
Boss : die la like this..
Engineer: already said fresh grad can't really do. Need years of experience
Boss : nvm you try to work out some demo. I'll let the senior management know that there is a change of developer and he didn't properly handover.

Engineer : huh? I don't have time to work on the demo.
Boss : just try your best.
Engineer : push to the existing fresh grad say management want him to work on the demo.

The other fresh grad : this place is so stupid.
The other fresh grad : also resign.
