Wow. This article really resonated with me. I was "Jamie" until 2 months ago. I choose my jobs very carefully. So when this company had a reputation of hiring the best, I was beyond excited. The interview process was great. I really liked interacting with the (future) manager. And....things went downhill in the very first month. In the first team meeting VP announced that the manager was moving on. All the while I could see it was not mutual agreement between the manager and VP. But, I thought that was not my problem. A meeting was set with the new manager and there it dawned to me that I was in huge trouble. The new guy wanted me to do a presentation in front of the VP and other C-level executives. "But I am not aware of the project requirements" I said. He summarily ignored my objections. On landing in front of the VP and C-level people I was criticised for not knowing the project requirements. While the old manager tried to help me, the new guy kept his mouth shut. Later the new manager offered me a half ass apology. That proved to be the last straw and I became the person who just wanted to code.
