At my previous job the company took the compromise to teach an insurance company devs about the new architecture that was being implanted.
I was the noob (but senior) there so I was the man to give the sessions.
What I found:

  • Nobody documented the new architecture.
  • Nobody knew the old architecture.
  • The insurance company was expecting sessions about the old, the new, and general Java EE architectures for 8 teams of distinct development skills, and also practical/workshop sessions, 20h per team.
  • I was having 2 weeks to investigate and prepare all that shit 😂

So I ended sleeping 3h per day during 2 months.
When I realized what the problem was (and know why nobody else wanted to do that) I told my manager that I would do because I took the compromise, but after that I would leave the company. And I did 😂💪
