I think you need to consider the difference between a browser, and the web dev tools that come with a browser. Let me put it differently, lets assume chrome has 10 billion users. O…

> This is my best guess, based on my own experience of being a manager. So, as a manager. How would you feel if someone interviewed you, and hired you based on your years of experi…

Thank you my friend, those are wise words. And I have quietly moved on from such behavior in the past, only to find it again years later. I feel I have to make a statement this tim…

> Why is fair relevant? Fair is for board games with your family. Why are you even responding to my questions, if you have no intent to help? I asked a question. I did not ask whet…

> Thing is, we only have half the story. Yes. And what is wrong with that? If this was a court of law, then not only would you have to hear both sides, you would also have to deter…

No. No one asked me that. In fact, they are pretty easy going in terms of what tools a developer chooses. Which is why its so crushing that he said "we have to let you go, because …

I agree with you. I have never lied, but saying the truth here will make it really hard to find my next gig, even though I did nothing wrong.

> It's also not because they changed their mind about the React rewrite. It's far more likely they thought you were going to be a bad culture fit. So, that is a valid argument. But…

> Anyway, you wouldn't be the first opinionated junior developer that gets a reality check this way. hahajahha!!! This guy just called me a junior dev. I guess that is possible. To…

And is that a front end dev? So please tell me exactly, HOW you want your senior front end devs to solve the problems you assign to them. Lets forget about the WHEN and WHAT for no…

> Also, are you posting here because you're frustrated and want to rant? It is OK. I asked a question, and you gave your advice. And I am definitely not posting here because "you'r…

> Honestly: are you a bit argumentative? Not at all. I pick my battles. Some things are worth fighting for, others can be ignored. Not all conflict is bad. Every manager reading th…

Actually, I think I was a bit too accommodating. I let a fellow dev fully set up my dev box twice. The second time I did tell him lets do this later, I really want to work on that …

> The one month gap in your resume nobody cares about. Seriously, don't be so insecure! How do I know this - I just had a massive 8 months gap in mine, and still managed to land a …

I most definitely use the browser dev tools extensively. The debugger is just one of those tools, and it simply does not apply when it comes to CSS. The debugger is for JS bugs.

Have I named anyone here? Have I shamed anyone here? All I have said, is I'm going to look into my rights as an employee, and question whether I was treated fairly. Why do you have…

To be honest, I believe me and the manager were a really good fit. If the choice was to move away from angular. As a developer, I believe we have the same values. He just felt I wo…

I had already relaxed between jobs before getting this one... ;) So it is more like a 3 month gap.

I agree. This company provided a windows box, but did not provide any set any proper guidelines or specifications on how it should look. All the knowledge about that was locked int…

I think you are missing the point. That one month gap in my resume? Very hard to explain. "So, they let you go why...." It is absolutely unfair, for someone to hire and fire you "f…

Yes, I think I was... good catch :) So they'd recently changed their policy from 2 days to 3 days work from office. Meaning the majority of dev time, would be spent at the office. …

Thank you, my friend. A year from now I'll be happy I dodged a bullet, and I still have to do something about this injustice I'm feeling now.

You get it. I will not be surprised at all if the move to React never happened, and everything is still on angular8 one year from now. So why hire me in the fast place? Because the…

Thanks. I was actually still being asked if the CSS had been done this morning before the firing. Despite the fact that it had actually been moved as done on the board, me saying I…
