I dislike when management decides to join a technical meeting randomly and then spends the whole time being confused and trying to get folks to explain something to them. It’s happened at every place I’ve worked so far.
For the record I’m not saying they’re unintelligent, it’s just that explaining something like how a kernel module actually works to someone who doesn’t know what a kernel is tends to put a damper on the meeting if it takes 30+ minutes.
- dvtrn 5y agoA previous boss was like this. Couldn’t avail himself for any of the status updates when I tried to-dutifully-keep him informed on project status, but would then show up to my team planning meetings, be confused, or get upset when he found out we were either not where he expect us to be in terms of progress, or that a minor decision was made among the group that he wasn’t roped in on (but doesn’t require senior management approval or consent) Meanwhile in my “Sent” (aka “CYA”) folder…you can guess where this is going.
