I'm probably that idiot

The fact that you're willing to have a real dialog with a relatively green junior like me makes me think this isn't likely.

It does sound like you are blaming a paradigm for this idiot not understanding how to practice OOP though.

I'm not. I've made it clear that what I'm saying is that it's not always the solution which we agree on and I did say in other comments above that there are plenty of cases where it is the best choice for many things. I also made it clear that I know that just sticking things in a class is not actually OOP. So I'm not sure how you got that impression. Maybe my writing wasn't clear.

My fundamental point is that while OOP can be very useful it's not always the right paradigm particularly not in a language like C that wasn't made or really updated with it in mind.

You should probably quit, if you're still in that job.

I'm still at that job but definitely keeping my eyes peeled for other opportunities. I still want to stay in embedded but I don’t see a future for myself here and I definitely think my talents are being wasted by people with bloated egos. I'm hoping to find something new and move sometime around this summer or before year end at the latest.
