But your manager was doing what I said he shouldn't do which is butt in on technical decisions. You should have talked to your skip and your team mates about your manager stepping over the boundary. You should have also told your manager you wanted to switch teams. There are plenty of other managers who don't work like that.
- jiveturkey 8y agoWhile that would satisfy the immediate problem of not having to personally work for such a manager, it doesn't solve the problem that the company has such managers. Better to leave.
- ilovecaching 8y agoAs long as the company has clearly defined the roles in the way I've described there is no reason to leave. There will always be outliers who are not working as intended. That's human nature for you. The real solution is to try and help those people understand their role better, and if that fails, then get rid of them.
- GordonS 8y agoThere is at least one bad egg almost anywhere. I mean no disrespect, but if you quit every time you have to work with a bad/obnoxious/egotistical/incompetent/delusional manager (or project manager), you'll never remain long in one job.
- jiveturkey 8y agoyes, to you and the other sibling, i didn't mean one bad apple ruins the bunch. i assumed reasonableness of the GP in that he didn't experience once bad interaction and bail, and that he left out all those details for the sake of brevity. because you know, most people are (by definition) reasonable. i thought it would have been too much to qualify my remarks but i see i should have. i only meant, if this is the norm for a company, leave post haste. thank you for challenging my comment, it was well deserved.
