'I quit and they lose the contract': Overworked software developer given massive projects, agrees to lie to clients

Instead of under-promising and over-delivering, one company found themselves doing the exact opposite. 

Truly, this company sounds like a hot mess. Just ask u/SchalkLBI, a software developer who suddenly found themself with a ton of responsibility for low pay. How low was this pay? It was just $1000 per month, and the software developer had to commute for four hours every day to get to work. Commuting two hours each way on an intern salary? That's tough. 

This developer writes that they stuck around because they thought that working at this place would pay off in the long run. Sometimes really tough jobs do give you that real-world experience that is worth the strife. But it sounds like this person was set up to fail by their bosses. We write a lot about toxic workplaces, and this is one of the worst situations we've come across in a while. Let's hope this person learned their lessons and can spot red flags from a mile away while looking for their next career opportunity.
