why do you think that explaining something is ridiculous? i have been to meetings multiple times with representatives of other departmens and openly asked them to explain to me things that i didnt knew and needed to get understanding to implement some functionality. why its ridiculous when its other way arround and someone asks to explain what and why is this code doing? again, it looks like ypure taking it personally.
- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoIt’s ridiculous because this is not genuine interest in someone’s work but a way to sieve out at scale. (I don’t have a horse in this race. I don’t work there. So not sure why you think I’m taking this personally)
- downvote_magnet 4y ago> not genuine interest in someone's work That's your threshold for asking employees to summarize what they've been doing recently? Management must have some profound interest in the feature being delivered and how it was implemented? Question: have you ever managed people? And if so, how many?
- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoIntention and context matters. The goal here is clearly to significantly downsize the operations with the least amount of severance to be paid. I won’t go into your ad hominem.
- throwaway09223 4y agoYour anger with what's going on is coming through clearly. It sounds like you don't approve of any of the steps being taken because it's a downsizing. While you're entitled to your opinion, it doesn't seem particularly relevant in discussions about whether or not this process is effective.
