Toxic Boss
My husband recently joined Microsoft. Its been 2 months to be exact. His boss is literally toxic and ignores him when he messages him and requests for a call. He wants to box him and doesnt let him research and implement better solutions. I am feeling very sad seeing his situation as he was so excited to join Microsoft. He is in the impression making stage and everything is going haywire… Any suggestions?
Just a guess, and I could be wrong here. if he is trying to rewrite the products that isn’t going to fly well. He needs to establish by delivering on team requirements first. Having respect for existing code base (even if it is not optimal) goes a long way, his predecessors did work for it. But if he feels distressed then perhaps talking to manager/skip for a different position may help.
where did OP say anything about"rewrite the products"? 🤔
Way of saying “making fundamental changes “ Drax 😃
Switch teams, I held on for much longer even after realising only after a short while that the org I was in was filled with stupid people who work on favouritism. Switch teams and select a better manager
I did talk to my skip about it as well and in my case it made it even worse, what I found out was that they take care of each other and wouldn’t mind screwing you over anything, boss’s boss are a deception
Sorry to hear that. There are bad situations. Coming from a place of proposing a new alternative, like I think I would do well in another team , instead of complaining directly to skip with whom the manager has an established relationship could help. Just a little tact
Probably his mom should post on blind and talk to his manager as well.
Don’t be an… Amazon employee.
You are a jerk and is that what you mom does! Anyways I am stressed about it as well, so I posted!
Does he know anybody at the company? Talk to them, or find a mentor. Could be culture shock or the manager could be a jerk.
Not really!
Probably the boss is on his way out and doesn’t want to be bothered lol
