Why do articles like these make it seem like it was written by a guy targeted by an engineering manager?
"Like if I were in his shoe, this is how I would treat myself."
- erikrothoff 6y agoAs an aspiring manager of engineers, do you mean that it's far from the truth of real-life counterexamples?
- nashashmi 6y agoI mean that overall they may be good takeaways, but managers don't do these things intentionally. They do it because they are trying to hold on to the other pressures of the job (meetings). This article is one-sided.
- ed312 6y ago>"Like if I were in his shoe, this is how I would treat myself." This is a very healthy way to think about things as a manager. I like knowing why I have to do a task, to have the chance to give feedback, and to get leeway to push for what I think is best. I try every day to support those things for my team.
