There is this new PM who is making my life living hell. Sets up his own timeline without consulting me how much effort it will take me to execute. The requirements are fuzzy and changes while executing. I am having to delete a ton of my code because they can't keep the requirements frozen.
The problem is that, I am being pulled into meetings all day and I am having to code at night just to keep up with my tasks. My life has become work and I have no time for my self-care.
Haven't gone home in 6 months now. I don't know what to do now.
Save me. Please. I beg of you. What should I do?
PM se pressure Kaun leta hai? Aukaat mein rakho bhai usko
Dheere dheere kuch samajh aa raha hai, bc jab kuch darrne ko hai hi nahi toh kyun darte hai hum?
@Theeverangry @Theeverangry That shows you have never worked with a PM. They can make your life hell in a nano second. They own the process, they own the metrics & finally the feature/product.
Tell him 10 min me grocery delivery karne se kuch hoga nahin and leave the team
Billed code monkey banne se bhi kya hoga
Even if this project doesn't work out, we'll still be involved in other projects. I'm not worried about the long-term profitability of the product. I'm working on niche skillsets, so I don't need to worry about being on the bench. As we are a cost effective solution to clients I guess we are at a safer position during these lay off times. And I'd rather work on something else than selling DSA courses like you guys. And ever heard billed code monkeys being laid off...... only the bench people are being laid off. ☮️✌️
Document the incompetence of PM in public (Slack, emails with key stakeholders), however, do it in professional language. Think of your own time as a company resource, and the PM wasting company resources by doing multiple revisions after the build has started. Ask publicly, "Had we not spent 3 days on writing code that had to be deleted, we could have rather spent those 3 days on doing xyz project. how can we as a team, avoid such wastage and rather deliver more value to the company". This will make you a dangerous person to mess with, the PM will be forced to bring better formed requirements to you, and the stakeholders will look at you as a responsible employee who is looking out for company's interests.
If it has got to this point, you can start working exactly 9hrs and clocking out. What happens later is their business. Meanwhile look for another job in the remaining time freed up by this. They won't fire you, they can't fire you if you really are putting this much efforts and having impact.
