she said she quit in the 4th paragraph I think, although when I read the first paragraph this was at least partially my initial thought. at top tech companies people get their ego's and self worth overly intertwined with their job and career progression because people around them are so impressed with the companies they work for, so I see where she is coming from.
I had this same experience at Facebook, and I feel for her, but when a manager wants you to quit (as her manager clearly did) take a hint or be prepared to get needled by the boss every time they see you.
- qween90 10y agoIf the manager wants a person to quit, why don't they just put the person on Performance Improvement Plan or something equivalent? Instead going through the effort of needling someone every time?

- jackmodern 10y agoif the reason they want you to leave is relationship based (i.e. people don't like you, but you still do your job effectively) then firing isn't really an option due to legal ramifications, PIPs can be though, but not always.
- jackmodern 10y agosaid this below as well, but relationship issues aren't always PIP worthy if the person does their job well enough outside of being unlikeable.

Your management chain is constantly encouraging you to equate your work quality/quantity with your worth as a human being. You want to be a good person, right? Well Jeff over there is a good person, and he worked longer than you. He also doesn't complain as much as you. Sure, you're complaining about all of Jeff's production bugs that you have to fix, but that's beside the point.
