Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Just got my new laptop and monitor via UPS. UPS knows better which companies are hiring and firing. Anyone at UPS or Fedex can you crunch some numbers and create a spreadsheet?
Hi everyone, 25M, I graduated with a STEM degree, and have been working as a SWE since then. I have been fired from every position because I can't deliver. I believe this is due to a lack of skills, though I understand most of the concepts. I also have only worked in start-ups. I have been unempl...Read more
I'll start. I work with a domineering engineer who was just made lead engineer. The power has gone to his head and literally everyone who works with him hates him and talks mad shit on him. They all complain about him to the higher ups in an attempt to get him fired and just follow his orders in the...Read more
I have had many ups and downs in my career and have been in different ranks, from IC to management etc. An H1B holder who happened to have a brief power over my employment fired me based on made up BS so they wouldn't be under any threat. I'm immensely happy that many companies now don't support H1...Read more
Can this ever be considered normal and not forced? does a manager have to be really bad to have this happen? This guy seemed clueless and never seemed to understand the technical issues or impact of the things we (our team) were working on. This cluelessness probably directly translated to being una...Read more
I feel like I’m saving forwards a FIRE goal especially as double income no kids, but it feels like a waste to not work. Feels like there’s so many cool companies or start ups, but the work grind is always a concern. What’s your FIRE number and do you plan on retiring once you hit that? #personalfi...Read more
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich dumped $24 million of Intel stock options in November, a couple months after the company was notified of a security vulnerability in their processors (which the public is just now finding out about). Are higher ups running around with their hair on fire over at Intel? This ...Read more
I haven't done much actual work in a month or so and really dreading my stand-ups. What are some good things to say when you don't want to do actual work? Not looking for a lecture about getting fired. Job is safe enough.
I see people around me who strongly align with stupid ideas/visions of higher ups. I am sure they realize the technical flaws but they still very disturbingly align. Is this a good strategy for career growth or will it fire back?
I hear things about good WLB and it's rest and vest. How good is the WLB really? Like if I just work 2 hours a day and slack off, and just keep giving the same update during the daily stand-ups, will I still not be fired? Interested to know how is day-to-day working like at Google.
Low-performing L5 engineer here who practiced a lot of behavioral interviews and managed to land a few L6 roles at some large start-ups (think snap, Instacart, Robinhood, Uber, etc.). Worried about getting fired because I honestly can't perform at L6. What should I do? Also, since I'm leveled at e...Read more
Starting the interview loop with these 3 autonomous trucking start ups Anyone work at them have red flags or internal fires that’s going to cause a potential shut down or layoff spree soon? Also maybe insights to their interview. #tusimple #embark #orcamobilityAI
I’m possibly overthinking but I think I’m about to be fired. What could be the possible 🚩 that I should keep an eye on? P.S. nothing has been wrong except my supervisors being distant. No tickets assigned. No follow-ups. Team lead declined 1:1 invites. #techlife #softwareengineer
Is it OK to not be a top performer? I’ve been lazy af. Doing the bare minimum to get by. Don’t think I’ll get fired but my higher ups don’t like me that much bc I’m coasting. I want to do better work. But it’s hard to find the drive. TC: 400k
Is it just me or is anyone else thinking, with the SAG-AFTRA strike, UPS strike, politicians being millionaires and old AF, inflation, and the rest of this dumpster fire that the 2020’s have been, that we’ll see a big shift in policy change, and wealth will be redistributed from the top 1% to the re...Read more
I have a co-worker in my larger team who just doesn't like me. I don't know what the reason is, he never directly confronted me for anything, just heard rumors he's been spreading about me. I was ignoring it, but a few days ago he wrote a huge "expose" about me and shared it with higher-ups (one of ...Read more
Recently started working on a new project ... spent almost 10 days and still couldnt figure why the api won’t process my data as expected ... feel like a total idiot ... and doesn’t help every day looking like moron in front of the entire team during the daily stand ups saying i’m still trying ... n...Read more
First, as you can I see , I am in Faang! Ready to get Pipped any time! I am still working a bit, because I do not know what else to do! I hate it every single day, just waiting to hear news from my boss that it ended! (Not scared at all as I know I am getting into PIP soon.) Second, I applied at lea...Read more
I got PIPed for my disability. I do my work just like anyone else(honestly better than half). I can’t perform best in demos. Higher up thought I need to earn trust just based on few interactions that they had with me. Manager put me in focus. Throughout the process he kept blaming for nothing. Fired...Read more
I have a mean manager, making sure i don’t get any visibility. I am not being invited to any of the meetings and don’t get any emails from the team. I am being assigned low level tickets and looking for chances to throw me under the bus. Escalated to higher ups with proofs of his behavior and his...Read more
