I feel like a loser. Specifically the following: I study very hard and get into a company. Try to be nice and work my ass off, to find that i am the last that my manager's "favourite list". I say i find myself as the last coz, i get assigned on tasks that are least impactful (despite delivering everything as expected or even better in previous sprints/quarters/semesters). Also, i find that i join a company with a lot of confidence, and when managers/ peers try to tear me down, i shut my mouth(even if what i say is right), don't have the nerve to make any debate or argument later or even participate in a general group discussion - am i being extra sensitive ? Wanted to ask blind folks advice or actionable ways to cope up and thrive on 2 specific concerning issues for me instead of just saying "office politics" T.C : 400k (~280k after stock dip) YOE : 8
More curious why MSFT would hire someone at 400K and then give them non impactful work.....
not with MSFT anymore...changed a couple of companies after MSFT...still using it for anonymity
Ok why ANY company would hire someone at 400K and give them non impactful work....
Have you talked to your manager about being given more impactful work? Also you might consider showing some initiative/vision and seeking out impactful projects rather than waiting for them to be given to you.
did that for first 6 months. And then in every 1:1...he would say i know ur interests are this and u wanted to do this, we will surely do it next quarter. It's very evident he's doing this on purpose
For $400k TC I’d fellatio my manager. So I am not seeing your problem here. Sorry.
i was expecting this. I didnt fellatio, but i worked 60-70 hours ...and find folks working 40 hrs being treater better
Good lord for that little I wouldn’t even spit on my manager. Some of you have too low TC expectations
How can I unlock manager’s favorite list? Asking for a friend
just observe the impactful features being assigned for a couple of sprints
>”I feel like a loser” >”TC: 400k” Go outside and get some sunlight and fresh air bro
"touch grass"
if i go out and get a fresh air, my mgr would probably fire me...
Oh easy fix. Start listening to Joe Rogan and do TRT. Once you are an alpha, take your bosses job. Never cry again. Profit
the work that is assigned to you should only be 30% of the work you do. keep this mantra and your life will improve
Microsoft is a shitty company! I wasted 8 years of my life there! Leave! They don’t deserve you! Most teams in microsoft are run like gangs! Managers have some favorites and they only give interesting projects with promotion opportunities to those people!
