Hired to Fix One Personal Bug

Description

The image is a dark-mode tweet screenshot from "robin @dreams_of_sloth · 1d". The tweet says: "the first thing our new hire did was fix a bug that's been bugging him forever as a user prior to joining. he then breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his two weeks' notice. wtf??" Under it are engagement icons showing 67 replies, 822 reposts, 4,373 likes, and a share icon, followed by a "Show this thread" link. The humor is that the new hire treated employment as an extreme bug-report workaround: join the company, patch the annoyance, then leave.

Hm, new hire just fired from company? (Practice in english, sorry 😐)

  Not fired, he just fixed the bug and quit right afterwards.

  You can be fired (for example, by the boss) - it’s not your decision. Or you can leave - it depends only on you

  I think he doesn’t like some bug in a software as a user before he join the company and he decide to join the company and fix the bug. After fixing the bug, he feel he finish his mission and then resign.
