You (in fashion of the article) missed the point I made: I was explicitly asked to speak up as the new employee and when I did I was told to stop speaking up. When I brought it up in the meeting I gave my two week notice, he admitted to saying that and apologized.


That's some bullshit. you did the right thing. When a new employee joins and notices that something sucks the answer should be something like these:

We know, but haven't had time to fix it, maybe we'll assign that to you when you're caught up.

We didn't think of it that way, good catch, lets go into detail later.

Yeah, but doing it this way makes this other thing easier, we'll show you that when you're ready.

or even: I don't know, my brain is fried with this project, can you ask again in a few months?
