At least what happened at my company, is that they hire an idealist who preaches agile to management, and then gets frustrated when reality doesn’t match what they preached, because now their job is on the line.
It was somehow hilarious to watch him weasel his way out of missed deadlines and failed project. Every developer ended hating him, since developers got the blame for everything, since we didn’t follow his idealistic view of agile.
- pydry 4y agoIn fairness Ive seen data scientists get equally surly when management hires them expecting them to work their magic and the reality is that the data is so filthy that there's nothing they can usefully do. Ideally you should quit if conditions make your job impossible - that being the economically "efficient" thing to do. But mortgages, kids to feed and the everpresent reality of the capitalist system often prevents one from doing that.
