Are you a people manager? If so, what is the turnover like on your team? I ask because the author is dead on and I've been in this industry for 10 years.

- astura 4y agoIf you wanna make this a competition I've been in the industry for 16 years. I'm a technical lead which does have a little bit of people management responsibilities. Turnover on my team is probably well below average, we had two developers leave for other jobs in the last year out of 15 developers and one fired for poor performance. I can't remember anyone leaving the year before. To be clear, I don't think this article is wrong per se, just obnoxiously naive and doesn't have any empathy for the real world constraints that people have to work with. It's just... uhhh... rubs me the wrong way.
- proxyon 4y agoTech leads don't have people management responsibilities. An engineering manager with your perspective would quickly find themselves without any talented developers. I did not write the OP but you're coming in with the hot take that it doesn't matter how people feel about their jobs and that is by the far least controversial part of the article and one that you're out of sync with 90% of the community on.
