Discussion on: Why mistakes at work should not be discriminatory (and why they sometimes are).

Hey I know exactly what you are talking about. I've seen it a couple times where you have a junior dev, give them tasks without any support. They do their best but it's not super good work. Then from then on, they are considered the "weak" part of the chain. Their comments are disregarded. Their opinions don't matter now to others. There is this invisible hierarchy and they are at the bottom. It's very demoralizing.

The solution I've seen, unfortunately, is to develop yourself as much as you can in your own time. Like spend a period of time building yourself into a much better programmer. Then start over at another company.

The other solution I can see is if a senior dev takes notice of you and decides to correct the situation from the top.
