I could not hide my loss of motivation at work last year and everybody kind of figured out I will leave sometime soon. They gave me an OK increment and my coworker an excellent one. Now he is leaving ... And yes I feel the burn.. :( My manager now shadows me wherever I go and even asks me why am I not at desk at times. This is a first for me. Never faced this. How do I deal with it.
It's going to sound very insensitive but: Leetcode and get out of there. In my experience that's the only way to solve a problem like this.
And don't alt-tab out of leetcode when your manager is nearby.
I agree. I have been adviced by my friends not to react to his antics, just keep it down and plan to leave.
Can you transfer to another team?
My motivation loss is due to the company culture itself, so I am planning to leave.
If you are planning to leave then dont give a fck what your manager does. Just straight up tell him. " I was tired so I took a walk"
Do what anyone would - just quit
Into the restroom even?
