I’ve worked with engineering managers and they did none of the stuff you listed lol. I’m still wondering what they were doing.

- lovich 3y agoIf that is legimately the case then you are probably working fore a bad company. I would caution you to confirm that your engineering manager isn't working in the background on a bunch of non engineering tasks that kept the engineers more productive. IMO, my modus operandi as an engineering manager is to body all the work that I can handle for a team that lets the team stay focused on the engineering work and be more productive.
- oldpersonintx 3y agoMany of us work for "bad" companies With tens of billions in the bank, who will be dancing on the graves of highly effective startups Which is why people still work for "bad" companies
- UK-AL 3y agoI've worked at many software companies, and the idea that a engineering manager can do a system design is hilarious. Most come from non technical backgrounds, or we're in a technical role for a short time.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoAt my FAANG, the chain up until the SVP has an engineering background. I previously worked for a startup that put a non engineer in charge which was super weird. Before that, my engineering manager was highly technical.
