The place I just left (good ridden) had no source control and the work was all over the place with no idea of who owned what or who was working on what. Thank God I am out there and now back at Radbroke where I can get involved in the discussion surrounding what source control to use rather than if to use it at all.

We all seem to be missing the point here.
Its not a case of what would you do, or how dare he do that. Surely the only thing that matters is:-
What would suity do?

Always good to have demonstrable proof you didn't, or did, do something.
Currently working with ACOMPANY who have denied just about everything about a working application, but have been quickly slienced with emails conforming delivery, and the actual stuff you delivered, with an audit trail in SourceSafe.
Keep just about everything you can, as in todays dog eat dog IT world, everyone is looking to dick you/preserve themselves.

In my first ever job, I was handed code by a senior Consultant untested, told it worked, he farked off and it didn't work. I worked all weekend to fix it, which he could have done in a couple of hours possibly, knowing the project and all. On the Monday, I explained what had occurred, explained if he'd not been in such a hurry to go home (Fri afternoon and he lived many miles away) and actually tested it, it wouldn't be what it was. He wouldn't accept this and we actually had to go through an internal HR investigation as I was adamant I wasn't taking the can for someone elses cock up.
He was fired, and now, ironically, works for the company whom the major project was for.
Did you not put the code in Source Safe/others? I do religiously now, so I can pull an ear file or whatever else to prove where we were, with suitable comments. Don't get burned by liars BP.

Stop tinkering with the build and leave it to the men.
