- zamadatix 4mo agoThis has to be the most depressing comment I've read this week. I assure you, not all places are like this. Especially mid-smalll, but even some pockets inside large-mega.
- itake 4mo agoWhat company will promote you for rebooting your machine? Maybe you’re not gonna get fired, but I can’t imagine someone hitting staff level because they spent a third of their week recovering from a weekly reboot
- awakeasleep 4mo agoI can't believe the level of pushback we're getting on this point. Most of these people have probably never been in those meetings. Person A: Not able to accomplish anything because security blocked essential... Person B: Shipped product F, look at this impact to our KPI. Saved costs by retiring service C. Mentored little jimothy. Who get the base salary bump and bonus allocation in that scenario
- square_usual 4mo agoIf you think so you've only ever worked in a trash org. If my productivity was hurt by things outside my control I'd expect (and have had) managers to fight for me.
- itake 4mo agoThere are two critical conversations during this meetings: Do we promote this guy? Do we fire this guy? It doesn’t matter what the excuse is or the size of the company, if you don’t have impact for the next level you’re not promoted. Put simply, you’re not getting promoted rebooting your machine. Maybe your boss can defend you from a conversation, especially if the problem is systematic (impacting the whole team).
