Happy Birthday!

Actually your 'development system' fails big time!

If it even ALLOWS you to enter an invalid package type direct by a user, instead of only accepting previously set up 'approved entry types', then it IS 'cheap and nasty' and will give endless costly problems ... (Technical Reason: insufficient entry validation!)

:-)

Speaking from bitter experience, normal users will do stunts like that all the time, including spelling an 'official' package name wrong!

Now it just depends on whether you just want a temporary wage, or you think you are working for a company that you want to stay with long term .... me, I'd not be running away immediately, but be looking what else is out there...

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt to prove it ...

With no sense of humor, that's not a good sign, anyway ... :-) Such a 'Manger' who considers that revelation of a major flaw does not merit commendation of the programmer, will produce a system like that of the infamous Qld Health Dept Staff Pay System - cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and months after implementation, is still not paying some people their wages at all, and most of them incorrectly - not making this up - read the news... :-)
