Hey, thanks for being the first to reply.
I cant explain the disappointment he felt because I am not him but according to him, the shipping company initially wanted him to pioneer and lead this group of programmers, to make a custom software for this industry and be sold as their own product.
Imagine your boss giving you an opportunity of a lifetime. Make you the team leader or senior manager of IT department in a MNC company, your own team, to develop a software but be sold as their product. I am quite sure you will be happy too, right?
Now imagine it taken away from you, sure you will be disappointed by the empty promises. Of course if you judge it realistically, he dont have the experience to develop an entire suite of software but he was already assembling his team but in the end, it was scrapped and cancelled.
I can imagine how halfway we semangat trying to achieve the best for the company and the company plays you out with what I'd call, empty promises. I know that hurt him pretty bad, cause he was still tolerating all the other shit he was thrown with until this point, he quitted.
Well, that is nothing, seriously, at least he did not get blamed for something that was not his fault. If he did, then ask him to get used to it, especially as a software developer. Seriously, in a software project, the developers are almost always the bottom feeders, when the project catches fire, we are the ones that get the most heat. A developer's words doesnt count for much compared to the project manager or business analyst. If your friend is indeed planning a career as a developer, he should be prepared for this kinda situation as it is very common in boleh-land. I've been in so many projects where the corners are being cut from the top to be competitive, i.e. 12 months project cut to 3 months with no reduction in requirement or increase in resource. In the end when the project fails, it is always the developers fault.I cant explain the disappointment he felt because I am not him but according to him, the shipping company initially wanted him to pioneer and lead this group of programmers, to make a custom software for this industry and be sold as their own product.
