SWE here. Sometime it’s difficult to motivate myself to work. How do people motivate themselves on delivering some XY services which would bring revenue or solve some issues!

Posting for a friend. Recently, my boss sent invites for everyone’s birthday to the team but forgot mine. I can’t help but feel ignored and under appreciated. Last year I also noticed we said happy birthday during team meetings to everyone through the year but again nothing for me. It’s in my wor...Read more

Neither manager nor tech lead have any suggestions or think it's their job to uplevel the people on the team. Most of the team is hardworking and I am sure want to keep learning. This made me curious how...Read more
