Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Our team has hired a new PM who is a huge micro manager. We don't really have a sprint planning so all the tasks are decided based on availability. Tasks that do come from him are of unrealistic deadline and most of them need to be done by EOD even if the task comes in at 7pm. Dude just mentally skips the time needed for testing and other processes. Also constant pings regarding the status updates is really frustrating. This is one of those bad PM/Managers meme cone true. I would have quit if I was not in a bond until next year July. Need some tips on how to survive this asswipe for the next 9-10 months without being under constant stress and going into severe depression.

Surviving unrealistic expectations

Software Engineer

So I recently changed my job (startup I was working for got closed). Got a decent hike the team  is big than my previous org.
But I'm not feeling the same excitement and enjoyment I used to get my prev org.
Reason of not feeling good:
Was working on more comfortable language org, but here try hand on new language.
Was given time to discuss and then code thing in prev org, here just push things asap as it's business important.

So planed that I will give 2 months time then decide I need to continue or not.
After 2 months still in dilusion.

Any thoughts that's is common or just over thinking.

Reality vs hope

Senior associate PWC with 8 years experience .. how much should I expect

Harsh reality of life. It has to go on, with or without you.

That’s life for you!

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO.  They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. 

And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

Do extreme toxicity & inhuman working hours actually deliver growth?

Product Marketing Manager

Now completely out of nowhere my manager assigned me a task which is completely out of domain and that too with a hard deadline. I have no prior experience of the same. Being on the bench, I am in no position to deny accepting the task. But I have no interest in doing it and even if,  for the sake of doing the task, I learn the new skill and complete this particular task, it won't enhance my skill set cos it is completely out of the domain of my portfolio.

Manager's Unrealistic Expectations at Work

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

What's the most toxic incident you've come across at your workplace?

Hi, fresher here and just browsing linkedin and opportunities that are available in the market. 
I have recently come across this trend by all the companies almost of having some unreal expectations for the jobs that they have to post. 
These are some entry level roles and demand experience? How is that supposed to work??
Idk if im wrong here but the example im sharing is a product analyst role demanding 7 years of experience? Am I mistaken to see this as absurdity?
Seen this with all the product roles as well, ns about other entry level jobs. 

Please let me know if I’m missing any information that I need to know or if there is a reason behind such demands. 

Thanks for reading.

What is up with these unreal expectations?

Am I being overpaid?
I am a backend engineer with 7 years of experience. I've been rejected by multiple organizations during salary discussions. They mentioned they can't provide such a high salary. Are my expectations inaccurate?

Current CTC: 45 LPA
Expected CTC: 54 LPA
Designation: Team Lead, Backend

Salary Reflections: Am I Overpaid?

Damn! For the first time, I'm seeing a post related to Overpaid. God bless you.

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Heyoll, what all are your expectations from grapevine. How it should be, how it should evolve? How it shouldn't be? Let's make this a thread of our expectations from GV so that later GV doesn't evolve as yet another LinkedIn.

My expectations are:

keeping this anonymity and less opportunities for personal branding

Group and community moderations

Community building options

What are your takes?

Expectations thread

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops)

In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?

Are high expectations in such a market valid (even accounting for cream deserves takes)

26 fixed seems pretty reasonable, I don’t know how much lower you can expect

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

So I work in a new york based startup and they hired me as project manager. I am from tech bg with 1 year of experience and no mgmt experience. Completing 2 years in this company and have created processes from scratch to increase team size and team dynamics. There was one conversation which HR heard out of context and started politics with CEO. Now in my review their "trust" overshadowed my "performance". They even out of nowhere telling my leaves were not judiciary! Now i don't trust this company anymore. Already my managers were too underperforming and disappointing. 

There were many scenarios where I took in charge of anyone's absence and even in my absence took care of things. 

They giving NO raise !!! Not even something to match inflation!

I am feeling very exhausted with company's policy and CEO being nosy in each and everything. And too disappointed in company's "trust" definitions.

Talked to my manager and cleared out my performance. Talking to CEO in next days to reclarify their issues. 

Any help or word of advise???
