If you're in a project where shit hits the fan every time, where you have to extinguish fires, overwork because of deadlines, etc. then this is the managers fault.
This isn't always true. Managers also have to deal with the legacy of development that has occurred at a company. In poorly run engineering organizations front-line managers' hands are almost as tied as the team's. In these situations they're also almost certainly fighting fires of their own constantly.
- wiz21c 7y agoI don't know why, but in practice, I'm that manager. I constantly fight to provide planning which I don't have time to prepare, fight for things breaking here and there, fight for people onboarding team, fight with some of my own people who have become hungry of the project before I got in (and think I'm doing a super bad job), etc. That's exhausting, super tough and even if I can say I have improved things a little bit, that's not funny at all.
