Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
I was thinking there is nothing to lose. Why not expose the management for whatever goes on in the org. I have personally seen some incompetent managers and PMs who turned into managers that are bad at people skills. Post inspired from another thread regarding PIP in FB. TC 160 - my tc sucks and I am working on it. Yoe 10
Of course spill everything at the exit interview (assuming you’re not joining again). I’ve found that eventually mean people end up being hated/disrespected no matter how senior they are. But DO NOT vent to HR, they’re on your managers side.
I've worked at so many companies, never had an exit interview.
My manager at my last company was about to not give me one (cuz she knew I hated her) so I had to demand it from HR
Name org - yes, manager - nope
PIPs are always the management's fault, no way the engineer did anything wrong ever 🤪
This. I’ve seen a few terrible performers leave our larger org on extremely bad terms. Not only were they bitter and hateful, they spent the last few weeks constantly badmouthing the team and manager to anyone who would listen. (I’ve also seen some who were unfairly let go so I do know the difference.)
A poor performer needs to be managed out as soon as possible, but it can be done respectfully. Of course there are cases of poor performers who are extremely negative, but the vast majority of engineers don't react negatively if the feedback is objective and is presented respectfully. If people are often leaving on bad terms, it's usually the manager's fault.
The process leading up to getting fired is frustrating and stressful for most people and in some cases the manager cant do much. The process leading up to being let go usually includes: getting negative feedback repeatedly, being handed out goals you cant meet, overworking to meet the bar (and still getting negative feedback). It's not hard to see how someone will be bitter (especially in the lower levels, where many are quite young and never failed at anything in their lives becore)
Yes it’s a terrible place to be, wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But that doesn’t necessarily mean their judgment is objective in that frame of mind.
This is accurate, and I'm a manager who has given a PIP. What irked me was that my report didn't even try to complete the goals. Were the goals unrealistic? Probably for most, but it wasn't about getting everything done perfectly. I just wanted to see they cared. They gave up so quickly, got bitter, and coasted while complaining about me to my other reports. I really want everyone on my team to be successful, especially during a PIP. At some point I have to stop the hand holding and see if they can problem solve on their own.
I got PIP and Amex for telling my boss it is impossible to explain technical concepts because she understands nothing. This is true and other people know it, but... I just sort of said it on the phone after she insulted me. Survived PIP and 'over-delivering' now.
I wish there was a website/app where we could anonymously rate managers we've worked with. Like Glassdoor, but for managers.
Probably will get sued into oblivion pretty quickly for defamation
How do websites like healthgrades and vitals exist for rating doctors then?
