And...did they tell you this before or after you took the job?
And why / how long did you stay?

No, they lied about the situation.
I stayed 6 months, that was the time it took me to find something else. I also happen to get the code fixed in that time. I was happy to quit, though !

It does seem like this is getting very close to 'find new job' territory.

Worse bit is the job is good, I get to play with embedded systems that people use. I get to do bits of hardware and software and generally I like it. Boss is quite good, pays not bad and I can walk to work...

Just get a new job. Don't go down with this sinking ship.

Aye, the "burglar joke" reports go back at least four years: http://wtfjournal.com/[^] - so there is a good chance it's a repost.

That's a very definite statement, especially given the notorious quality of the search tool here...

It's been here 1hr 10mins and NOBODY has managed to post a Repost link.
Trust me, this proves beyond reasonable doubt, it is not a repost.

All it proves is that no one has looked or found. I do recall seeing this story before but I can't [a] remember where or [b] be bothered to look.

That is not a viable scenario when it has been mooted that there is a possibility of a repost. Trust me people have searched.

That's belief, not proof.

I'm at work. I don't don my Leslie Nielsen cap until I get home.
Edit: OK, I don't recall that one. Move along, move along...
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

No it said the Burglar LAUGHED at the punch-line.

Maybe he just thought that Barack Obama is a joke?
