It sounds like a horrible place to work in. I too would leave.
As for the comment "$$var{key} instead of the generally accepted standard practice of $var->{key}", I have to say:
I use $$var{key} everywhere. The world has not collapsed.
I reserve -> for method calls.
It's not a problem in that environment, it's a symptom of the pathological attitude of the owners of the business.
Unfortunately this little piece exposes you. Shitov is especially vulnerable in this because he is Russian, so it's easy to attack him (you know all this spy scandals).
In his case it is ridiculus to hire him and expect him to earn your respect, which is what you did, despite all your great efficiency, which is temporary anyway.
Trouble is that mess around us is starting to spread out and we did not manage to resolve it yet. And in my opinion we are expected to resolve it, we are expected to behave in a morally consistant way, because we are a market leader. And if not a market leader can demonstrate moral standards then who?
Or may be it's the same in the entire travel industry? People get bullied and exploited at their jobs? Then I'm outta here.
]]>Can you explain more about the benefits there?
Do you get discounts for flights and hotels?
If so, what percentage?
How strict are the work hours?
Thanks again.
]]>I read it today. This happens to me "MANY" times. This is because of the enthusiasm you possessing to learn more. It happened to me even for my last company(Currently I am working Self). What I learned is that , for the life you need money .For that you have to work (Most employers only bothered about the "BUSINESS" not bothered about employee or his interest).If you have enough money resign the job and do work for you (and learn what you want to learn. Now Google is there you can learn any new technology if you are willing to learn).
Good Luck !
On the flip side, it seems advertised positions aren't always open. Does anyone here know if the UX Designer positions are still open and if not, will any open up again soon? I'm also wondering what I should wear to an interview, if I do make it past the CV, portfolio, and letter stage.
