Monday Blues😵‍💫

Tech Lead

Most of us are back to work after a long weekend. It's a very miserable situation I know. So for the benefit of everyone, what are the few things you do to make your week at work less miserable?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

So, for some context, I recently joined my new company about 4 months ago. I was previously working at a well known design studio and wanted to try out product companies.

My manager is very bossy and literally micromanages everything.

Things they do:

1. Has 2 1:1s per week. 2 fkn 1:1s every week. One on Tuesday and one on Friday just to check up on how I'm doing and there is literally nothing to update during that time. I mean I'm not going to make any significant changes within 2 days. My time gets wasted and I've suggested that I don't think we need two calls like this but they dismissed that point.

2. Does not know when to diverge or converge. If we are approaching a deadline, they are still in an exploration mode and constantly ask me to explore more. Being super unrealistic. And then randomly call me out by saying, we need to wrap this up quickly after asking me to explore more. Like tf?

3. Most importantly, super confusing in the sense that they contradict their own opinion in the same call and all the calls end up with no conclusion. Do this using X method, then next day they say why are you using X method, you can try Y method too bla bla. This happens every time and I'm left speechless every time. I get on calls with them to get clarification on my issues but end up getting more confused.

4. Gives feedback and expects it to get implemented. If I say no or suggest a better alternative, they become defensive and pin it on me saying, I need to explore more etc. I do explore a lot but there should be a full stop to when I should stop exploring. Also, literally anything I do has to go through them, and they have to give unnecessary advice even when the work I am doing is coming to a closure.

Every Sunday I dread that the next day is Monday. Feeling very down off late, what should I do?

I have started to hate my new job. 5 months in, need guidance

What excites you about the work week, has it always been this way or did you find what you love to work on somewhere along the way?

People who don’t get Monday morning blues, what do you do?

Corporate Strategist

You've planned your weekend on Friday, just before closing the system, but then suddenly, a client calls you or a manager comes up with an urgent work request, asking you to complete it. You also realize that the task is critical, and you may have to work on the weekends. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how do you deal with it?

Have you ever received work on a Friday just before closing your system?

how do I respond to this? I want to take the offer but the 6 day work week is what pulling me back from accepting the offer.
