Yeah, I really don’t understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.
They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn’t even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.
I literally had the “Java is to javascript as car is to carpet” conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn’t get it and I had to explain to him that you don’t drive a carpet to work.

Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.
So they essentially hired you for no reason and then had to come up with something for you to do?
It’s more common than you think.

Maybe your boss was from the middle east and didn’t understand your point…
