On the other hand: Do it. Laugh. Laugh in his face when you are called to help on a project that isn't ready after 1 year and started without you. When they show some wire-frames and ask you how long it takes without telling you about the actual technology used for the project.
Summer 2015 I was uninvited from a project meeting. My coworker was planning the project and discussed it a bit with me. He wasn't the one who decided that I shouldn't take part.
Summer/Fall 2016 and the project isn't going anywhere. I'm invited to help. I do my best, besides the other projects.
January 2017 and my coworker is gone. He gave his 3 months (+ x days) notice and told me December 2016. Shortly after it I gave my 4 1/2 months notice.
The new deadline for the project was May 2017.
They launched November 2017.
