I work as a SWE. I made an easy mistake while coding and it was caught during code review. But manager chewed me out and a team meeting and kept saying “are you blind? why did you miss this?” Basically the mistake is 2 characters in my code that would’ve actually been a disaster for the team. He kept saying I need to get my eyes checked and stuff like that. He is a really old ex-military guy. Well today I got an email from our benefits management team regarding VSP, reminding me that I was not maximizing my vision benefits and I can find care providers in our benefits portal. It wasn’t an automated message, and I confirmed with another new hire that he didn’t get this email. Is my manager just being a jerk?
Leave. Leave immediately.
But smack the shit out of your manager first by complaining to HR.
this is pretty funny but also definitely harassment
How did the ex-military guy ended up working for meta should be an interesting story. But yeah, he is being a jerk.
Drill instructor as a manager? Sounds like a TV show
Ask him/her to fxxk off
The manager sounds like a dick and you should leave. The part about vision benefits sounds random and unrelated
Maybe I'm spoiled, but I would complain to HR or his boss. This is pretty out of line for how cushy most software roles are at companies like this.
He could have provided you feedback in a much more constructive manner. This is just berating
Holy toxicity batman. What the hell is wrong with that guy? That is not a healthy team
Workplace harassment to me .. collect evidence and sue
