Corporate Sacchaiyan EP 1

The biggest conundrum is that everyone claims to not indulge in politics but are sure that there exists politics in companies. Just goes on to show that you have to be extra careful with your colleagues, they aren’t your friends. You’ll be thrown under the bus at a minor inconvenience. Integrity and ethics are rare, mind you, extremely rare. Most managers are class monitors, not leaders. Leaders are rare. A high-performing, transactional team that keeps personal things personal is GREAT for you. We work, get stuff done, and then your life is yours — but we’ll show up when needed. Culture can’t be forced, it cannot be shoved onto a team. “My destiny is more powerful than my will.” — Napoleon, or whoever I don’t know. But you get it, I hope. Keep continuously learning, that’s the only way onwards and upwards!

Sahi baat. Never get too personally invested in a job unless you have a lot of equity. If your compensation is limited then treat it as transaction. Also having up to date skills and strong interviewing skills is the only way to have job security

Integrity vs. Career: Can you win at office politics without losing yourself?

I'm struggling with the whole office politics game. On one hand, I want to build strong relationships and advance my career, but on the other, I'm not willing to compromise my values. Recently, I was pressured to support a decision I disagreed with just to stay in my boss's good graces. I stood my ground, but now I'm worried about the consequences. How do you all handle these situations? Is it possible to play the game without selling your soul?

Product Managers on

I believe Product Management is a really toxic role

1. High pressure on timelines- business and top management shits on you if you don’t deliver on time 2. No power to control the outcome- engineers don’t listen to you neither does the design or analytics team, you end up begging for resources 3. Too much politics- business or a senior PM can steal your bandwidth anytime 4. Lack of recognition- if it succeeds business did it, if it fails it is product teams fault (engg never gets blamed for shit)
