of course there’s a scale. I’m just pointing out that when I was a programmer, I wouldn’t have given one of my projects to a new-hire under any circumstances. If a supervisor did it, fine. That would be on them. But slipping them something under the table? Never. Because it would be MY name on that code no matter who did it.
Thorin is right, of course. There is another factor, though. Supervisors are often controlling and possessive, and resent decisions that are made without their approval or input.

I have to admit, that makes some sense.
Last summer, I had an insane amount of work. I made myself sick. There’s a scale here.

That’s a good point.
I was actually more referring to Dee Dee’s complaints about not having enough to do. enjoy it!

Dee Dee, work will come.
Maybe… if this turns out to be a functional workplace. What are the odds?
It depends.
If she’s not careful, she’ll volunteer to do something and then be stuck doing that forever.
