I am moving out to a new team for better career prospect. I have seen my manager behaving like a jerk, he is asking for shitty things and trying to hold me as if I'm the last person on the planet to save his team. He is even reaching out ppl and sharing -ve feedbacks. Everything was good and going great till I told him I am moving out ... He is trying hard to impact my career purposefully. I feel LOL, when I see him doing stupid things :). Worth to mention that he is pretty old Amazonian and he has been repeating same behavior with people who left his team.
My manager was extremely supportive when I said I was leaving for grad school. However, i did get teh feeling that they were trying to squeeze every last bit out of me before I left because i was asked to help ok multiple assignments that were not mine. Did not bother me much though, but this isnt the same situation as you
Happens but they are dicks
Be glad that you're allowed to transfer. Some block transfers by giving hiring managers made-up performance issues. Many come from MSFT and move around the org and switch teams/countries to save their face.
Yes I've see this first hand from HMs as an HM. In both cases we took the risk because the story sounded fishy and the folks turned out to be awesome
My manager acted like this... when I was leaving my fast food job... at age 17.
That's about the baseline where you expect it
Only if you at up a poll wrong ;) It's a sign of an immature and/or poor manager.
My boss did the same thing when I left to a new team. I reported it to our director and to HR. WTF kind of sabotage bullshit is this? I NEVER experienced anything like it before coming to Amazon.
Unfortunately, it's common at AMZ.
One more option needed. This is expected and yes, he is a jerk.
compliance org full of such shit managers top down, never going there...
Yes, noticed it's bad in that org with solid performers leaving or wiped out. :/
I have switched teams 3 times and in all cases my mangers acted in a very mature and understanding way. Your boss is probably not able to accept that you are moving on and wants to blame you for not sticking by. Hard luck. Try not to be affected by it, it's a phase, will pass.
use polls wisely
?
He obviously means to always skew them to show the results in a way that best supports your objective.
