Our manager has started using genz lingo where he is a early millennial. He said send otp. And i didn't realise he was asking for the data to be sent to his mobile through WhatsApp.

Why we don't have culture of TC or GTFO culture on Grapevine?

On another similar platform, Blind, there are unspoken rules, one of which is TC or GTFO. As an OP, you are required to share your TC and YOE in your post; otherwise, community members may choose not to participate. This practice proves beneficial in understanding industry pay culture.

How much surveillance is enough surveillance when it comes to development monitoring?

Rant: Background: I work on DORA metrics, DevOps metrics, which basically monitor the development environment across the organisation! I am currently working on extracting DORA metrics for a client in US. The principal software developer on the client side is obsessively pushing for adopting DORA metrics. Basically below parameters: - Deployment Frequency - Lead Time To Change - MR Frequency - Change Failure Rate - Mean Time to Recovery Monthly reviews are being pushed for and more reasons for WFH justifications are being worked on. Engineering managers are obsessive for metrics. More surveillance, more surveillance, and more surveillance! This is in-evitable, but this early? And, they say, these aren't accurate, take this with pinch of salt, but think and justify 😂 So, what's the scene in your organizations, is it being the industry norm nowadays?
