Or you get fired because everyone else says your code is an unreadable mess.

    In my experience... nope. Never seen it happen. Even when there are clear coding guidelines, and stacks of code smell violations.

    If the code actually works and is vaguely important, I think you are right.

    If anyone ever has to fix it because it's also broken on top of being a mess, well they aren't quite so safe. Maybe if you are always available to fix it same day, but if you ever go on vacation and it hits the fan while you are unreachable....

    In my experience, nope. Assuming it works as promised, the situation (usually) gets viewed as a skill gap. You think their code is bad, because you don't understand it well enough. Unless you are personally willing to redevelop it, of course.
