I don’t understand why this story is worth the amount of text written.
I’ll save you some time: the author pushed code that had a bug that caused issues for some people. They didn’t show a sense of urgency, or at least the people around them didn’t think they were on it, which got communicated to their manager. At this point manager is feeling the fire and decides to sort of take over putting pressure on the author. Manager and author have a communication style mismatch, and seems like author has not earned the trust of manager. 2hs later the stress made the author cry.
Overall, the author failed to handle the expectations of people around them, the stress made them cry.
In the end, a learning experience for the author.
We’ve all gone through this and it’s a lesson of how to handle other’s expectations.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoThank you. I had to give up reading half way through.
- ncmncm 5y agoFalse: the author pushed code that triggered a bug in some non-production code somewhere. The person who complained about that, a full week later, did not identify where or what, but the manager badgered the author for hours demanding something be done, with no hint of what or how. There are plenty of bad managers. Companies could recognize them by people seeking to leave their group, but generally don't.
