I've worked for months while they hired a new manager, and we just had less meetings.
- nicoburns 4y agoPresumably someone was still managing you (e.g. there was someone for you to go to if you wanted to book time off, ask for a pay rise, etc)?
- soperj 4y agoVacations are booked through a booking system, pay raises are negotiated by a union, so not an issue.
- Cederfjard 4y agoMind if I ask where you’re from? Even in highly unionized Scandinavia I’ve never seen software devs (specifically) join unions to any larger extent, let alone negotiate salary through them.
- bratbag 4y agoConversely, I had to attend more meetings when I didn't have a manager, because they were no longer there to act as a filter/shield for the chaff around the corn of what I needed to know.
- soperj 4y agoWhat do you need to know from your manager exactly? Majority of my assigned work is coming from my project lead.
