Starting the focal-review with "Are you planning to leave Postman?" - For past 6 months, old-timer manager has continuously mentioned that "if you think you don't think you're aligned, you should decide priorities for yourself and not waste your time here" - I spend time talking this out in one of the long call, but it turned out to be just more stubborn than anything open. - This is after pulling all nighters, from March-15 to April-15 to May-15 to June-15 releases, and providing two status updates on daily basis (it is still on-going, and takes up more mental toll than the actual convoluted nature of work). - Current manager does not have that many YOE, and now this old-timer senior-EM comes in and uses such language, pushing attitude. One can clearly see that even this manager is being calm to let the upper talk pass in. All the questions regarding lack of decision making on product, designs business are always turned down by focusing to talk about examples rather than actually understanding the case one is trying to highlight. And none of the team member would even agree or even speak about it in a different flavour, putting one into a villain like position. Now that I think of all these, I feel that great/continuous work doesn't mean an absolute bump up in position or even promotion. It has something else more. Typically mostly aligning with the upper management on whatever they say. Accept it without questions. I see this happening for this young manager. Incidents like forcefully mentioning at least one salty bug, even though it has been discussed that we can take certain decisions in past, on a daily basis. I'm conflicted internally on a daily basis, and then there is this notion where if I keep speaking out such things, it will portray me as a whiner instead of intellectual/sensible who understood and laid out plan for the upcoming development. On one front we talk about books like Pragmatic programmer, and never understand that one in the team might be trying to actually become pragmatic. is it common to feel down? How can I increase/fake my confidence till I make it? This bothers me every day. Moreover I am wishing to work where the code is open source and I can be part of conferences in direct or indirect way. I want to grow in technology or learning about how to innovate or create a business flow. I don't want to learn about how to manage ego. Please highlight some positives. Is this going to be always like this where we work nice, well mannered, spend long nights for pretty much many weeks and then get resulted into toxic behaviour, favouritism, and politics? I want to move out of this cycle. I'm more interested in product development life cycle. Recently I've realised that lot of small start-ups are creating features while working with one or 3-to-5 customers and providing them a service and convert that into a SaaS product. Should that be my start-learning point to venture into business? Or should it be more tech-savvy and make something open-source and then build community around it? I know I've wrote a lot. Overall would like to listen to the conversations. #engineering #indianworkculture #managers #technology #saas #learn #life #motivation #inspiration #software #swe
Sorry my friend, we all are going through this in all teams
Oh that is bad. I don't understand why people don't speak up much!!!
