Work
Anyone else still working?
One of my offshore developers has been "working" on a portion of the project I'm leading for about 6 weeks... Wednesday he sent an email saying it wouldn't be done until next Wednesday... it was due Friday (has to be up for UAT on Monday). Then, he went on an unannounced vacation.
Right before he left, another of my offshore developers got him to commit (to SVN) what he had done. I started looking at it Thursday night, so I could finish it, and found that he done almost nothing... and most of it was wrong. It took me about 1hr to undo his dumbassory and then start doing his work for him. I put in 16hrs on Thursday, 12 on Friday, and 17 hrs so far today.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I should be able to finish his work tomorrow sometime. The down side is that I already had 10 or 12 hrs of work I needed to do this weekend to get everything sorted out and perfect for UAT... now I get to do that as soon as I finish his sh!t.
Absolutely worthless... I'm thinking about flying to Poland and kicking him square in the nuts.
On the upside, I've bitched so loudly (I'm never working with him again) that everyone knows he's worthless and will hopefully be removed from the pool that we get assistance from. At least, nobody who's heard me bitching vehemently will ever let him work on their projects.
O, and what reeeeeeally pisses me off is that he never said he was having trouble, but he wouldn't commit anything to SVN because it "wasn't quite right yet". He's logged over 230 hours to this project that he was expecting to get billed to the client and he's done about 2hrs worth of work... much of it wrong.

sounds like darc works in the real world.
in the real world we call those people "top dollar", "engineers" or simply "boss". i don't blame you for needing to vent though.  |

Hah, no, I'm just a code monkey. But, I'm the only one in my area that knows the technologies needed for this project (Java/JSF) so they gave it to me as project lead and gave me two offshore developers to help. So, while I may sound important, I was just the only one who could take the project and needed some help to be able to finish it on time.
...negative help, it would seem.

EDIT : And it sure as hell isn't "top dollar"!!!

I finished his work about 2 hrs ago, and then started on my own.
I've done what I can (I'm getting delirious) so I'm headed to bed soon... I think I'm at an acceptable level.
