Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, I am working in a early stage startup and our CEO has established the culture of transparency where he shares every update regarding company funding, customer sales, revenue and answers all questions within company but one thing that has been bugging me is his micromanaging. 


He has integrated a bot in slack which ask for what did you do yesterday ? and what are you going to do today ? , Everyday


He also managed a spreadsheet of our tasks and takes the exact estimate in days makes a calendar view there and keeps asking up to update on our tasks progress in multiple meetings or on chat. 


I didn't had such experience in prior companies but he mentioned, such things were being followed in NyKa, DineOut, etc as well 

Does the well known companies like Phonepe, Uber, Zomato, google, amazon, Microsoft, De shaw, sprinklr follow this as well ? 

I just wanna check, is he doing too much or it this a standard in Indian companies ? 

Thanks to all whoever reply to this post, please share your current & past experience.

My CEO is Micro Managing Engineers 😡

How to deal with a manager who instructs every bit of your work, takes technical decisions on their own without any consultation with the team, tries to breath down everyone’s necks, follows daily deadlines, work checkins 3 times in a day, irrespective of jira being in place, does not appreciate work, tries to eat credit and cries foul for smallest of issues?

Thinking of resigning and to look for better opportunities. Currently I’m working as a SDE. Any suggestions are appreciated

Job switch

I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much.

It was quite difficult for me to get into this company and this job. The company is quite great and I was quite excited but some of the experiences I have had with my immediate manager have made me a bit apprehensive.
I would like to share them and hear opinions about it.

Here are some things which have happened which I have not liked so far - 

1. I speak to a Senior Engineer one day and next day my manager asks me if anyone asked me to speak to him. 
2. I shared an insight about a new tool which we can use on a deployment pipeline on the overall pod (under my skip manager). My manager immediately called me and started asking my status update and replied 'Discussing 1-1' in the group to prevent anyone getting visibility of the idea. 
3. My manager pings me whenever I go offline and recently he asked me in a passive aggressive way, 'Please monitor your Teams status. It was away for most of today.' I now feel kind of paranoid to never get up as I feel my Teams status is being monitored.

Is my manager too much of a micromanaging red flag ? I started a new job and my manager monitors my Teams online status.

Everyone is gung ho about Leadership..Leadership this..Leadership that..but honestly how many of us are really able to follow that?

Don't you have to micromanage the team members? How do you find such motivated team members?

Honest answers only.

Micromanage or not?

Product Manager

Any managers here who could help verify the urge to micro manage everything that happens under them? I don't like being micro-managed for every task even after consistently performing well in my reviews and work in general. I feel micro management is hampering my personal growth

Micro management is killing my career.

Product Marketing Manager

I have been talking to a few companies, across different size bands.
Only Indian startups seem to obsessed with full week WFO/Micromanagement.

A few years back, startups were known for being more flexible, now it just seems to be the reverse.

Why are Indian startups so obsessed with Micromanagement? i.e. WFO

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

My job is to develop applications and dashboards for my clients. My client manager is an enthusiast. He asks for my base code which usually i don't share or pbix files for the dashboards which again I don't share. When I say i don't share it means we share frontend and not the backend.

Ideally, if I share the whole logic, he may find a different developer and modify my code, which might be legal but not a usual practice. Anyways my concern is that he tries to find faults with it which again is not something that he should be doing.

Do you think this is right? And anything I can do to make him stop this?

The client asks for code.

Let's ask Modi ji to make this a law.

Everyone should work 84 hours per week. All of us have wasted too much time in the last 10 years already.

84 hour work week

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I recently joined a organisation 3 months back as an APM and I am not liking the culture of the company.
From growth perspective the company is good but some things that disturb the mental stability. The micromanagement of the company. Strict wfo 5 days 9 hours shift. No flexibility at all. Every month review with a ppt justifying your work. 
Work pressure is alot. 9hrs is getting 10 hours usually. I am not sure what should I do🥲

Toxic culture <> micromanagement

Can’t imagine a stronger sign that complete WFH cannot work

Business Development Manager

He won’t understand the meaning of “micro” for obvious reasons. 

P.S. - No issues with alternate thoughts but playing victim after it backfires is next level engagement farming.
