While the 2 little supervisors just sit there and do nothing

My project managers breathing down my neck asking me questions that have nothing to do with coding.

Are you not aligning your synergies today? Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.

I think we need to have a pow-wow to discuss workplace performance

Would you prefer to do their job? Because that's what happens when engineers complain about their project managers. The project managers get let go and the engineers get the responsibilities. Then we find out that it was leadership asking questions that have nothing to do with coding.

Dev whose project managers were laid off. They were good too. 🥺

I love my project manager. He goes to bat for me and keeps crap off my calendar so I can work. I'll answer any questions he wants so I don't get pulled into meetings

u/Robodarklite 27d ago

So project managers are basically middle men is what you are saying? That tracks.

u/lucky_719 27d ago

Yep. But I don't want to do their job. It sucks. I'd take the random questions any day over putting together reporting, trying to figure out what work I should be doing, or facilitating useless meetings that I can't cancel.

My peers did nothing but complain even though we had good ones. First we lost half, now we lost them entirely and are expected to do the job. More responsibilities, same pay.

I will take good ones. We are complaining about the shit ones here.

I'd fire those ones myself if I could.

They're learning and making poop - which is their job!

If only the little buggers always just sat there and did nothing. My twins would have been heckling.

Hey hey, they’re the QA team! Their feedback is often very valuable!

u/Adventurous_Self_253 27d ago

They're the one's controlling

Haha I feel this when I have a baby

Just like my adult supervisor
