    I keep having to deal with this asshole senior developer that makes the dumbest fucking decisions that affect the entire codebase, giving me tons of extra work in the process, guilts me when I need to take time off, and writes dogshit code on top of that. I have no idea how this complete dipshit made it to senior.

    It’s me. The dipshit is me.

      Take the time estimates that this bully gives you. Tell them the time estimates are way off. Take their estimate, multiply it by three. So, if it would have taken 3 days, then it will really take 9 – that’s two whole weeks of 40 hours each. If it would have taken 3 months then it will really have taken 9 months.

      When you get a calendar invite and this asshole bully accepts it for you, make sure to include that cost in your time estimate.

      And make sure to stick to your 8 hours each day. If you didn’t get work done because some asshole bully filled your calendar with meetings and left you with no time to work, and then also made stupid decisions about the entire codebase, make sure to report that to your manager. Your manager needs to know when time estimates are going to slip.

      That dipshit will start to figure out how much time it really takes to get work done. It might take a while though for that to be learned so bear with it.
