I've been tinkering with computers since I was a teen. I'm currently pivoting from my current role as Tech Support manager to Full Stack Web Developer. I'm actively seeking employment in the field.
One thing I can say is that the place I work for now started out like that... And only got worse from there (that being said I'm not currently working as a Dev, and it's not a software company). All of the previous advice is good, and pretty much describes what I did, but you may want to also consider looking for other opportunities as a fallback (I mean, you've got the time, obviously) if it doesn't work out. It may be an indication of a lack of organization/planning/generally-having-their-$hit-together (as is the case where I work), which may lead to frustration down the road.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
