Here’s my story in the field of software engineering: There’s this colleague of mine who is on a pure tech role but hardly codes. The person spends his entire time on LinkedIn sharing new age tech stuff and projects himself to the world as if he is the Messiah of architecture. The guy preaches the same gyan to members of my team. For the last one year, this guy, in the capacity of Software Architect has not pushed a single line of code into our application source code and this is on record. Yet, he is highly regarded as an expert in technology. The guy has killed the careers of some genuine software engineers with his unique approach to make it look like he is taking a lead to own stuff in tech space. The guy has had tremendous career growth, got promoted 3 times in the last 5 years.
In my view, the guy is a tech junkie whose knowledge carries no value. Yet he managed to butter the leadership team to reach to position that he is currently in.

I don’t think these people even realize what harm they’re bringing about
I too have experienced the same & have been at the receiving end of their actions. It’s not that they don’t realize the harm they are doing to genuine people but all they are concerned about is saving their ass in the company. This groupism helps people at their level to infuse their ill-agenda with the org culture making it look like a fair and honest practice.
There is one guy on my team who handles feedback so poorly that they engage in narcissistic tendencies. I've seen them bootlick the right people due to their closer proximity and utilize crony wordplay to show that they are harmless. Whe...
I want to know how many of you viners gets exceeds expectations ratings in their company. What different you guys do to get it. I always gets meets. No matter how much I do great and extra work.
You know those type of people? The ones who believe they know everything, everyone else is beneath them, but in reality are extremely stupid?
The ones who will never admit they are wrong even if you show them why? The ones who will try ...
I'll be joining Navi next month as a fresher. Just heard about the layoffs. How should I proceed in this startup. Should I start preparing for new opportunities or wait almost a year ( if they don't layoffs) for future opportunities? Co...
I read the glassdoor reviews and it says a bootlicking, inexperienced management and very bad work life balance. It also says good growth and good pay.
I try to stay optimistic and ask folks at Navi as to what is the ground reality. Can...
