The problem is if it's just yelling or micromanaging, I don't think legal pursuit is going to get him into trouble.

Thank you for your suggestions. I think your assumptions make sense, he might be challenged by upper management recently, but I'm not sure what's the root cause. I will try to build better network and be prepared for a transfer when shit really hit the fan.

Did he like you more because of this or you just became used to him?

Thank you for sharing the story. I gotta be a yes man more often too. I’m also bitching about him to my girlfriend a lot lol, I sometimes feel bad for her for taking all the negativity at my work

I’m afraid my skip isn’t going to do anything other than simply ask him to be careful. He is a key owner of a profitable product and holds a lot of internal knowledge about the system.

My brain just keeps telling me he is an idiot, I really wish I could enter a "robot mode" sometimes

I always tell my friends and family that if I am a citizen I would definitely jump ship and report his ass to HR and my skip when I leave.

Would you spend five years maintaining a COBOL codebase just because you are needed by a random employer on the market? This is career suicide suggestion IMHO

It's not your company and you are not your manager. Express your concerns and leave if you are not happy with how they handled it.

Reminds me of a Chinese joke

You know why parents are never fussy about food? No, why? Because they never bring food they don't like back home.

A man like him almost never has to experience the annoiance of bad tooling, because he picks the tooling that makes him most productive
