He is the guy that fired her without understanding how things worked, but the guy that had her employed before him, drove her crazy enough to the point she started doing cosplay, the problem is not this particular suit
The problem is the manager from before, absolutely this buffoon and company culture.
Like you said, she had made herself too invaluable as an employee by making mission-critical software that can't be maintained by others. That is a failure on her part.
Unless, of course, the other staff actually was taught the needed knowledge to maintain it as well, and the 'issue' here was them quitting in solidarity removing the backups from that company, too.
BEFORE:
-> she was constantly working late at night, exhausted mentally and physically
-> only cope by cosplay
-> AND put her all in creating the system to automate her work, with help from colleagues, and done after
5 YEARS
-> to be dismissed right after
Yeah, shit
CANNOT be her fault.
The sys is
NOT mission-critical lol, lmao even. Remember, the place where she used to work is
NOT a software development company! The sys was created to
AUTOMATE her work.
Not to mention the fact that the manager clearly was made aware that they can make it work with another 10 more ppl in chapter 4 but he refused.
So he think: if quantity is not an option then quality should suffice, and go for the talented guy here. But did the guy want to do the work of 10? Bro passed the vibe check.
The hell you mean the sys is shit bcs it can't be maintained by others? She made it so
HER work is easier! If you want the software to be used by other then frikking paid more, hire ppl to specifically do
THAT!
There is
NO WAY this soft was on company's initiative, nor was there any official support. She
must have made it in her own free time there, managers prob didn't even see the need for one, employee either cope with workload or GTFO. From my view, she was barely hanging on, doing the work of 10 just to maintain the sys and mayyyybe update it occasionally, thinking she has plenty of time to work on it, she's the one to create it right? No way the comp would just do it out of the blue right? Worst case there will be a transition period, yeah?
Manager FAFO. Has no idea what's what but still fire ppl willy nilly. She's just another cog in the machine, what the worst that can happen? If 1 can make do, then 4 will absolutely crush it.
Well, only way now is to build it anew from scratch, but he's not going to have the time lol
