It's entirely possible the VP exerted energy for the IC. It's entirely possible they feel feelings. It's entirely possible IC feels its a burden to deal with the situation, would prefer it not be that serious (because it is, someone believed in you), and would like to move on.
You can have a small one-on-one conversation and air it out. Explain that you are honored to be considered, and perhaps that discussion can lead to a better end here, versus a bitter one.
We cannot constantly run from the fact that we deal with human beings with emotions in this life, as clinical as we want to be.
- conductr 2y agoThis. Have a conversation, voice gratitude and appreciation, voice your reasoning for wanting a change and ask they support you in that end. Together, devise a specific wind down plan that’s not time based.
- Merliololo 2y agoA good VP knows VERY well that people want to move on. Only shitty VPs clinge on people like this. Your IC is an expert in developing / doing the things, the VP should be an expert in managing. every other scenario are bad managers who act like children and do guilte trips to keep people because they don't know better.
- blitzar 2y agoAn amazing VP hears about something on another team and chucks it your way. For the really really slick operator this is a way to extend their powerbase throughout the org.
- Merliololo 2y agoI have no clue how a VP could 'chuck' it from one team to another. Normally teams have ownership on specific topics. But yes of course, if this is possible and 'chcusk it your way' is the same thing as 'delegating efficient' i do agree.
- higeorge13 2y agoI have seen quite a few times, VPs, EMs or lead/senior engineers being angry and resentful towards people switching companies and/or teams. A f2f meeting _could_ help, but not always.
