I work at a small scale startup where I interact daily with the CTO whom I directly report.
Recently, he has been giving tighter deadlines for critical projects at work and is not willing to discuss anything related to the scope or timeline of the projects. He just expects me to finish everything in x number of days without asking for even the slightest estimate of the duration.
This has led to me missing due dates for projects which he later blames on me quoting poor performance during reviews.
Has anyone encountered such problems before? How did you handle it?
Days? Don’t you guys do everything in 10 mins!
There is only one way to deal with this situation. Have an honest conversation with him and explain how the lack of planning is affecting your output. Be ready to suggest what can be changed for you to perform optimally. A reasonable person will take the feedback and make an effort to change. If he is not reasonable, you have nothing to lose!
Update: Got laid-off last month.
Bro same happened with me. Product manager used to say sorry we are changing many things. Manager used to say ur doing good work and CTO used to say poor performance. Eventually those basterda fired me overnight putting me on roads. What to do. Under mental trauma.
