Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

When I found out I’d be reporting to someone 10 years younger, I wasn’t exactly excited. I’ve got years of experience, seen it all, and it felt... weird. Part of me was a bit defensive, maybe even a little ego kicked in. 😅

But guess what? I was completely wrong.

Working with a younger manager has been one of the best things. Seriously. The energy this person brings is insane – always full of ideas, willing to try new things, and pushing boundaries. I didn’t even realize how set in my ways I had gotten until I started working with someone who sees things so differently.

What really surprised me is the respect we have for each other. It’s not about age or experience – it’s just teamwork. We both have our strengths, and it’s more about using them than focusing on who’s older or younger. The balance we’ve found is great.

And honestly, I’ve learned a lot from them. They handle pressure so well, and they're always open to feedback. Leadership isn’t about age – it’s about who can inspire and lead a team. I don’t even think about age anymore.

A few years ago, if someone told me I’d enjoy reporting to someone younger, I’d have laughed. But here we are. I’ve picked up some of their habits, and it’s keeping me sharp.

So yeah, for anyone nervous about working under someone younger – drop the ego 🙂

All the People Managers here, comment below, 

What do you really want out of your team and for yourself at work?

Do you really enjoy micromanaging people and showing off your authority by hyper monitoring them and messing up their work life balance? Do you want to be respected and loved by your team or you just want to be feared by them to feel better about yourself? 

Using fear as a motivator does not really increase your team’s productivity you know?

Please enlighten me 🙏

What do managers really want? Fed up of toxic bosses

When it's 5 pm before long weekend and your manager enters your area with this look

Software Engineer

How do folks in sales vertical handle managers having no hands on sales experience? 

Like example my manager is handling the sales team without having any sales work-ex
He asks random baseless questions- ye kyu nahi hua, ye kaise nahi hua. I am sure he doesn’t even understand how sales function works. His limited knowledge is making my life miserable.

Also he thinks I am a ‘truecaller’. I should have contacts of all possible clients he can think of.

I'll go first: "I want you to focus on doing good work and not on how much money you're making." Achchha aur mera rent kaun dega?

Manageral interview

Some days ago my manager asked me not to get too involved in informal conversation with a female colleague. According to she, it can affect my appearance and hence my ratings :) 
The Nazi idiot missed part that Slavery is already abolished in our society and I am free to talk/flirt responsibly with whoever I like, as long as other person won’t mind in any space. 
Do you guys have this level experience with toxic/dumb managers ?

1. Most lowest, low to Mid ratings (identified by your manager)

2. High TC — if you are in the same level for a long time (> 3 years) and your TC is reaching the top of that band.

3. High initial stock grant (possible by great offer negotiation skills) and you are approximately in the  2nd or 3rd year (when you got the most pay)

4. those who get retention offer in the past and your TC is L + 1 but not performing at L+1. Time to cut the cost.

5. Coasters: if your manager carefully Evalates your criticality and concluded you are easily replaceable

6. People who consistently complaining their teams are too busy too much pressure too bad WLB are in danger too.

How to minimize your chance of being laid off

1. Tell your manager you don’t need any tc increase，or tc is not your career goal

2 tell your manager you are willing to work hard and have no complaints. If you took 2 ppl work, no one will choose to let you go!

How to identify your Layoff probability

asked and got 37% increment. 0% chance of layoff. work only 6hrs a day. 
  
 have some self respect. I'd rather be laid off than do these shitty points. gross.

Engineering Manager

Can you tell a little fun fact about your manager 
My past company manager wore an apple smartwatch without charging it. For more than 8-9 months he didn't charge his smartwatch and still was wearing it. 😆😊🙏
P. S. Not demotivating anyone.

Growth Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So I’ve been working as a Backend Software Engineer. Recently, my manager left the company and I’ve been assigned a new manager. Not to boast but I’m decent at my job and able to find better solutions than my peers, my old manager ignited this passion for problem solving in me. This new manager is really toxic he pass comments on my colleagues (Same level as me) you have short term memory loss, badam khaya kro and shit! He’s always chasing girls in office. There is one girl in my team he acts like a different person in front of her (although she treats him really bad because she thinks he’s a creep). So a few days back, I was working on something with some other manager who knew the context to the problem (there is an internal npm package my company has which only few developers have contributed to, I recently made my contribution to that package) and this new manager has never made any contribution to that package so he started telling the other manager that this guy(Says my name) is very slow and the other managers defends me instantly saying he’s the fastest in the team. I’m really pissed tho.

I want to do something about this guy. He has been doing such things for past month and always tells the sob story of how much he has struggled in life.

Need suggestions on how to tackle this?

PS: I’ve asked my parents if I can resign they are fine with it but I don’t want to resign in this bad market without an offer

Toxic Manager…Need Suggestions?

Not in a bad way, like not calling me something, but openly says MC BC etc 

I am not used to this kind of work environment, but they are 5-7 years my senior and there is no way for me to give feedback

They just insert in random sentence like “Yeh data toh data hua hai bc”

Is this really a common thing? What would you guys do?

My manager openly abuses in Hindi

My manager to me in standup calls🥲

For the past few months, my 1-on-1s with my manager had been cancelled. Instead now, every month the manager is having a team discussion wherein my team members and I are present. 
I feel that this might be a way to tell me to leave the organisation. But on a separate note, recently I was awarded extra ESOPs under a separate high performance program. I am little confused now.

No 1-on-1s with Manager

Head Of Growth

Compared to white ones. Obviously not all of us may have the same experience but this is a general stereotype and my own experience.

Please enlighten gyani people.
