Same here as a developer. The server was down. The clients' sites were unreachable. I was busy trying to figure out what happened instead of panicking and was told I need to be more engaged because I seemed to have no sense of the scale of the problem and how were they supposed to know otherwise if I wasn't visibly upset?
- johansch 12y agoWhen asked what was going on, did you say "I don't know" or something like "I don't know yet, i'm looking into it right now"? There is a difference. It is frustrating to manage people who don't see the value in communicating properly. (Or maybe you had a clueless manager.)
- csixty4 12y agoI said I was looking into it and showed them the log files. I was specifically told that if I wasn't visibly panicking they didn't believe I was engaged in solving the problem. This is the same agency that accused me of doing freelance on the side because they saw me with a C# book and there was no reason for me to be learning another programming language if I wasn't doing work on the side in violation of my contract.
- johansch 12y agoOk, then they are not that bright and I hope you have gotten out of there :).
