I am a newish programmer(~3 years now). We have a test group of about 1-3 people. So, the apps don't get really tested well AT ALL(maybe one tester to test the changed page, not the whole app). I've noticed that the business side and my boss are pretty close(business side makes our priorities) well he cherry picks from the business side what he wants to work on and gives me the tough assignments with close deadlines, saying business wants me to work on it. He doesn't review any of my work, it goes to test then production. So when things fail it's blamed on my code, because he doesn't promote code.
I talked to his bosses about this and they said he does other stuff and that I'm really good at coding so that's good that I do it. But he tells me everything he does and he sits on projects for months or years. There's a lack of accountability by his bosses. He talks about selling stocks with the guy next to him for a good part of the day. Then talks to business about all of the stuff he's doing, to appear that he really cares and is working hard. He tells everyone we have so much to do, when all he really does is the customer tickets, that I do as well and I have to do all the tickets that involve old client data to new client data(that's another only me task). I also have the very sensitive, extraneous work projects. I am the only one in our promote app that is even in there for the past 3 years! They even had me restructure our entire apps with a contractor without verifying anything, I'm a jr programmer and the contractor is a 3rd party!
No one listens to me about him and I don't want to go much higher to leave myself open to burning bigger bridges(I may have already). I talked to him directly about it, but he lies and pretends to care. He said we'd share the next large project that he assigned to me, but I have to do all of the coding for it now and he just deals with the third party that we're purchasing product from with a couple of E-mails every few months. He asks me for help all of the time and he's been there about 4 years longer than me! Even asks me what my decision will be on a lot of things, because he doesn't want to make any calls. What I feel like is he knows that if something goes wrong in the code he doesn't want to be blamed. What is a good way of just protecting myself in this environment? I would think he has some type of responsibility if code fails, but I don't know what he says when he runs around telling everyone things. I am starting to send him and business some code that I can send, through E-mail, so I can say at least that I e-mailed them. I've just had him say in front of me, well I don't want to throw him(me) under the bus after he told me how I should do something. I hope this is not too long, it's not a rant. I want to like my job more and retire with this organization. I am just trying to protect myself so I don't have stress so hard when I promote code. I feel like a scapegoat that their just pushing everything through. He's not only my boss, but coworker, the apps take two heads, as there was before I was there and before he was a sup it was him and the other guy. What is a good way of just protecting myself in this environment?
