so it seems Tmobile wont allow existing remote workers from sprint (who have been 100% remote due to family reasons ) to keep working remotely. they insist we must go to office even if the office is in a different state altogether. This is severely F’d up. if this is not tearing families apart then ...Read more
It’s always the annoying ones that want to go back into office I absolutely love WFH and want it to become permanent. We should only go into office maybe 1-2 times a sprint - maybe for backlog refinement and sprint planning so innovation continues. This would be 1 day a week or every two weeks whe...Read more
Google pioneered employee care. The hardest part was getting in and life was set after that. All you needed was to focus on work without the pressure of deadlines and office politics. Getting it right was more important than getting it fast. Now, it’s not even in top 20 if you’re a good engineer. It...Read more
I've worked with both. I got along with pakistani manager much better. He was more conservative and didn't have a large number of others in the company to team up with and was less tribal. But he treated liberal people worse. I've worked with 3 or 4 Indian managers and we just didn't hit it off....Read more
I’m in Amazon, my manager has given me last sprint to perform well according to them. The expectations are the sprint work should be complete, and I fear the sprint task wont be complete as it involves lots of things which are new to the team. Even a seasoned engineer from our team might not complet...Read more
I got a new offer. I haven't told my manager about it yet. I need to make use of all the holidays around 2 and half weeks so took those holidays and returning to office tomorrow. Also there is some sprint planning tomorrow morning.. Should I inform my manager about quitting tomorrow before sprint p...Read more
I have sprint and all my calls and my conf calls drop frequently while I’m going from west to east. Or even at the office. Their signal sucks in this area.
So there's this girl at my company, she is on a different team but we don't sit that far away in the office, we are actually one of the few people that come to the office lately. But never spoke to each other, today when I arrive she just randomly comes to my desk to say hi, then starts making small...Read more
Right now i work remotely as a contractor. My next job i will accept nothing less than in office or hybrid. Some sprints are slower than others (i dont work at toxic workplace) and i usually spend my time doing fun things like a bike ride. Whats this like in an office. My guess is that if you prov...Read more
As others can attest here I’ve been successful in getting people into our recruitment process. If you are interested in interviewing at Meta please DM me if you meet the following criteria: 1. You were laid off or worked at Meta previously and interested in re-interviewing (if under 12 months,...Read more
Just asking have you ever taken off to complete office work? I done this two times… so no body ping me and I can focus to complete sprint…. Also mangers gives some random work which is not even calculated in sprint it takes 5-6 hours in a week but that’s like almost one day in a week. And switching...Read more
Curious what you do when you finish your work ahead of schedule. In my old team, we had a work Nintendo Switch that I could invite any team member to play some Mario Kart or Smash Bros. On my new team, I joined after COVID so I would just take a nap or lounge around at home Now I'm in the office ag...Read more
I commure to office from Mill Creek to SLU and I work while I'm commuting on bus. I have sprint/t-mobile network which just let's me use 500 mb for hotspot and the network has a lot of blind spots along the way. Is there a better network that has great mobile data hotspot options and decent price ra...Read more
Hey fellow techies! Let’s take a moment to appreciate the quirks and wonders of our beloved industry. 🤖 Ever noticed that ‘debugging’ is like being the detective in a crime movie, but the crime scene is your own code? 🕵️♂️ And speaking of meetings, do you ever feel like you’re in an episode of ...Read more
I hit the rock bottom and again try to get my shit together to get up. This has been a constant cycle of battle since last 10 years. I started working out. I live alone in Seattle. Haven't completed my office work since last sprint so working in the weekend to complete it. I don't have self discipli...Read more
Wondering which I should choose (Mobile Software Engineer). TC doesn’t matter, since all three are great and a step up from what I currently make. Things that matter to me are: - Work/life Balance. I work hard, but I also like to travel a few times a year, and keep the hours spent in office <;= 40
I started a job at a business unit within dell in a low COL area at 99k first year TC (including 6k signing) as a new grad after my undergrad. I like the teammates and all but the work isn’t satisfying enough for me to feel like going to office. Most sprints, I’m done with the tasks within first hal...Read more

Both my brother and I are caught in the rat race of chasing TC. Fortunately, I enjoy a very good work life balance, which is quite the opposite for my brother. He goes to the office three times a week and continues working late into the night after returning home. Despite our grandparents staying w...Read more
