Not sure why you're downvoted on this. Far too many managers try to also push their management work on the engineers themselves. I've seen this many times and it makes my blood boil. No random PM drone, it's not my job as an IC to do your sprint planning work for you.
- ravenstine 5y agoSeems like a misunderstanding to me. Those tasks are on everyone's plate to varying extents, but I too have definitely witnessed the useless PM whose role seemed to be to force subordinates to effectively take on the executive portion of their role. Then everyone wonders why morale is so low.
- astrange 5y agoI’m confused by this thread because a PM is not a manager. Their job is more like a cheerleader, where they don’t have any power and you don’t have to listen to them (unless your actual manager delegates to them). For some of them this does turn into just asking why you’re not done yet.
