why are you doing the chasing? unless you're the project manager, comment "blocked by obscure pune team" on the ticket and move on
- malfist 2y agoIn my experience, PMs rarely do the chasing down for you. Most of them ask why you're still blocked and if you've done anything about it. Even if they do do something to chase them down, you're still on the hook for the deadlines.
- GeoAtreides 2y agoso you're saying PMs are not doing their job? and then you have to do the actual project managing? not ideal for you, very cushy job for them.
- dragon-hn 2y agoThis is an unfortunate attitude. The current state of things in our industry is a reflection of this “not my job” way of doing things.
- GeoAtreides 2y agoWe can call it job specialisation. I don't do project managing, I do coding. Not my business to coordinate everyone, my job is to write code.
- dragon-hn 2y agoMy job is typically to deliver features that make the company money. The writing of code is just a part of that. In my experience the people who solely focus on the code end up being significantly less effective.
- GeoAtreides 2y ago> to deliver features ah, see, so your job description includes, besides being a dev, also being a project manager. that's fine, there's nothing bad about it, it's just that your job requires a bit more from you than other places.
