Everyone is smart enough to respect where money flows
I doubt their resentment is something that came up suddenly
Maybe new Eng Guy is trying to align resources after evaluating that most time spent by Engs is pointing to no revenue
I work under a manager/mentor who extremely rude to PM and CSMs in general
I have never met a more focused person than him ever
Have spent enough time under management to see most Client facing guys are not focused enough to say no to random requests by Client
MBA grads wanna maintain the relationship with clients rather build a product that recieves widespread adoption
Product Building and Eng is hard, and the ones who nail them move to USA and print stocks
Most Blr based product companies are wrapper around Service Based product because we would rather waste everyone's time/money rather pointing them to narrow objective of a product layer and making life easier
Tbf PMs and Client Huggers have a higher attrition than engs and focus on "Relationships" rather than Value
We understand making deals is hard
But working on creating Money-Minters is the best thing you can do ever. Great products make life easy for clients ,even if clients are not focused its your responsibility to fight and show them value
A little context:
I'm coming out a meeting with a major desi Bank. Have been having this meet for weeks where Business guys throw around words and toss emails with nothing to show for
Keep in mind all these morons have big linkedIn profiles that others jerk off to
I can't contribute much since my manager didn't join till today
But today my manager took control of the meeting and opened up an excel asking what I the to-do list and who is the stakeholder
All of those guys just ran for their lives.... we had more clarity today than rest of the 2 months
BottomLine
Please focus on where the money is flowing and let that form your direction
A rude focused guy is much above a distracted tree hugger
