Seniors are tougher to manage? I see some ways how, but this seems wrong overall.

- hnfong 4y agoProbably correct in that specific context: "till the existing teams starts to burnout". Seniors would just call out on your BS and let your ticketing queue burn.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoYeah, I can see a number of scenarios where seniors can be more difficult. They're indoctrinated by a different process. If you want to do something they didn't do in the passed, they'll throw a fit, and insist it isn't needed; after all would a genius senior engineer like them fail to do something? No, they're too smart and accomplished for that. Similarly, if you don't want to do something that they HAVE done in the passed, they're liable to raise a big stink, maybe go over your head, or try to rally the team to their side. If someone so smart and senior like them was doing something before, it must be crucial, and a prudent use of time.
- Joel_Mckay 4y agoThere comes a point in your career where a 60 hour workweek is unacceptable, and unnecessary. Yet some corporate cultures do not accept people have a life outside a project. There is also the youth employment tax-credit driven layoff cycles the industry likes to hide as a subsidy. Over 28? good luck staying with some firms... You are probably thinking this is some dubious startup, but you would be wrong... "They eat their own" is the warning most kids rarely heed. Have a wonderful day =)
