Do you see office politics at your workplace?
If yes, give examples.
I think any sufficiently large company will have at least some.
Ass kissing
Tonnes of bullshit around ownership. Should team X or Y be doing this project. Who cares, as long as it gets done?
Architects squealing to VPs when their design decisions are challenged during brainstorming sessions
Managers backstabbing each other and ended up with their direct reports on pivot. Mutually assured destruction.
Finger-pointing at other teams when asked about poor performance.
Finally a Blind thread that makes me feel better :-P
Incompetent scoping by manager/director pushing their reports to the brink with deadlines. Those managers should get poor ratings for bad scoping. Instead, the hapless report gets a bad rap when something doesn't get done well.
VMware is same.
Design by maximising opportunity to finger point rather than actually reducing risk / tech debt. Fml
I'll start. Managers will claim that another managers team is better suited to be part of their org. Talk to senior people and write a proposal. These are also the type of people who will hang around senior people at team outings etc.
Those are the ones which make it worse for everyone. There are also engineers like that. In most cases they back down when confronted directly, the idea is to be direct and not try to play them at their game.
Let me guess. Indian manager trying to build his empire?
