Hey Viners, would like to know your prespective on the situation that if you face a bunch of incompetent colleagues who dont take their work seriously and the manager constantly asks you to maintain quality because of your seniority and you end up cleaning their work, how do you handle it ?
Create a toxic work environment for them that they leave themselves ☺️
Make it black and white, non performers vs performers.
In your catch up with senior management reveal the incompetence of non performers and your effort effort to make it work.
By this conversation Your manager will get two take away
Post the catch up with your manager have one on one with non performers and explain the scenerio that you have escalated it. Still they have chance to prove themselves.
This puts the non performers in pressure and possible good out comes.
Never make any work place toxic as non deserve it.
straight forward and clear communication is the key of any managerial role.
P.S: I am a VP in a tech MNC, and handle 400 + employees directly and indirectly.
Thank you very much but I am an Individual contributor and not a ppl manager.
Develop people skills bro. In all this world of tech skills coding ai we forget the most important skill which is people skill. That's the only important skill which is gonna help in long run.
I have also heard how Razorpay hires incompetent candidates from IIT Roorkee
The manager is just asking you to take care of the quality you do your work and talk to them over emails let them know what they have to do over emails and also let them know about the consequences and if they still fail to do so. Then it's your manager who has to decide.
Exactly. You're responsible for only your role. Don't take on your manager's job too. You're not paid for it.
And if you do create any unpleasant setting as some of the others suggest, know that it will reflect back on you down the line. Managers may not comment openly but they do notice
Problem isnt about their work ethic affecting me, the issue is , because of their poor work ethic my workload is increasing.
I will share my POV ... As they are hired they must have talent so u just have to figure out why they are not working or do they want to change their domain or want release from project ... Basically we all will be motivated to do some work if the rewards are good. So I will suggest try to find the reason or give them a reason to work...
As the title suggests, does it make sense to talk about a colleagues’s inability to deliver to my manager. The colleague’s incompetence to take ownership is very evident now to everyone and the manager is not taking any steps on it. Othe...
Do not get involved. Try to minimise your own additional work due to that colleague. In one-to-one meeting with manag...
Fellow engineers, as the title suggests, here is some brief : my L1 has the same exp as me in terms of total yoe, just that he is an older employee of my current company, writes shitty code, is an average engineer, same with L2, average ...
As everyone knows that zomato is now hiring 800 employees after two months of a mass layoff, and exit of senior profiles like VP and CTO.
Let me tell you the truth about the founder. He is an opportunist. He doesn't give a shit about ...
I have recently joined a startup as an APM (My first PM role) and my manager is teaching me the bits and pieces of Product Management. The issue is, while he's helpful and experienced in this field, he sometimes talks to me in a very con...
