Is that a problem of yours? If it is your code - either deal with it and fix it or assign someone else.

I've usually heard these stories from older coworkers who were telling horror stories of past times - usually that involves low salary, terrible working conditions, etc. not a thing even older coworkers wants to remember without a shudder. Bad code always comes with bad salary, rushed code and other disasters. And no one - even old coworkers want to do anything with that bad code and it will be tormenting older coworkers for years. Sometimes it is a relief that someone is so eager to deal with that stuff that no one else wants to deal anymore.

PS Change your attitude. Have a laugh and carry on... or go where your older and smarter colegues have went already.
