this hits hard.. i remember one time my manager shortened the approved schedule because we seem to be smooth sailing 😂 and bragged it to the client then after that all hells broke loose and we ddnt deliver in the new deadline.
Why am i get the feeling that "Jared" did become one of the "Money-People" and the next thing is one of the two. "I'm releasing management and Cindy" or "I'll share my bonus with the laid off team"
So... you _lied_ to the "money people"? The "money people"... to whom you have an actual, legal obligation ("fiduciary responsibility") to? Those "money people"? Anyone else suddenly smell -toast- a lawsuit?
@@jamesnoneyabizness5611 you cannot prove that disgusting allegation and if you mention this again I will fire you. Also it doesn’t matter if I lied to them because you’re the one who’s got to do it :)
@@Shlooomth Oh, *_I'M_* not important enough to be speaking to the shareholders - but I'm certainly _smart_ enough to create a paper/email trail of "What do you want me to tell the Shareholders on your behalf" questions should anyone insist that I DO speak to them as to make it ABSOLUTELY AND LEGALLY clear that I was just a spokesman, not a policy creator, and to point back in no uncertain terms to the person or persons who actually WAS.
They are prepping the company to sell. There was an old “fixer” CEO who would come in and gut the place, making it look good to investors before a sell. But one time his sell fell through and in the process he was found out as a hack.
Had one of these guys come to a company I worked at. Made up BS reason to let go 50% of the floor workers. Then tried getting us techs to do our job AND operate the machines. Yeah they aren't doing so ggood these days
Sounds similar to manager at old job. We worked on site at the customer and performed above and beyond their expectations but we didn't look good to our corporate because we weren't doing things the corporate way which does not work at this particular customer which was the largest. As result everyone who would tow corporate line was fired or driven out. Now they're loosing contracts to other companies the customer has brought in including the one I now work for
I just want to work my little IT job where little college project managers with 0 IT experience don't stick to their buzz words/phrases. Like fire half the managers before developers and engineers and things might actually improve
I remember when my boss wanted us to make our own Facebook. A few months later we needed to make our own RU-vid since he didn’t like how we couldn’t require viewers to give all their personal info for the privilege of watching a video.
As someone who owns a few thousand shares of stocks, I'll tell you that this is the type of thing that turns long term investors off of a stock. I want something that is going to be around a hundred years from now.
A company, where I was, had one. A Senior Dev that would trash about the company and processes in presence of the highest executives. No one dared to shut him up, cause he was not replacable. Always fun to watch or listen to.
One day I would love Liam to just destroy the whole code base of the company and run away with Anthony while putting the blame on Liam and Cindy. How Ayanokoji move it will be.
Jared has that "They can't fire me because I intentionally made a system they rely on faulty and unreadable to other people" With a pinch of "IT security are my friends"
Jared sees the matrix code. Also: lmao firing developers, that’s a good one. Also also, in what farcical world would a PM promise something to a stakeholder that their developer specifically told them was not going to happen
Developers get fired from Amazon, meta Google like every other week in the hundreds / thousands - similarly project managers (or poor ones anyways) 100% agree to stakeholders / customers cause they’re not the ones who get the bollocking, the developers do
Oh, they most definitely didn't promise that to their shareholders.... But the devs don't know that, and it can serve as both a pressuring tool and an excuse to fire them because they did not meet expectations. This is usually done either as a cost-cutting measure or as an employee cycling thing (because human resource throughput is a statistic some companies use as an indicator for "success", to indicate a "lack" of "stagnation")
Same world where a manager at a national space program overrides the manufacturers explicit instructions not to launch their solid rocket boosters below freezing because it would be embarrassing to cancel again.
To a stakeholder? They promise these things all the time. Not so much to a company shareholder, since those usually aren't involved in the project. A company that is desperate to impress a client will promise them anything. They will endlessly extend the backlog, without budging on the deadlines. To "make time" they will demand ludicrous amounts of overtime. It's the dev's job to spot these things early and jump ship before he's dragged to the depths.
Thats why its important to divide the work in many small easy tasks, so you can get done with a single task in one day or even an hour, this increase productivity by just telling what the biggest task is
My company completely mismanaged a project, meaning it had no chance of launching succesfully, then decided to move the project launch date forward 2 weeks before launch because they had scheduled a trip and wanted a 'a better atmosphere at the party'...
I think this is standard operating procedure. The developers that are left will be in a toxic work/life situation and be bailing out soon (if they're smart) and then when the company folds the management moves to another company with higher salaries... Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Managers are why I will never work at a big company. I work in a small company of 11 people. I am product owner and developer and we have no "true" hierarchy. Everyone's input is just as valid and we trust each other to get the job done.
I was once assigned to a project to single-handedly code a new feature into a simulator. During the first meeting with the client rep, he literally said out loud that the previous section being coded had two people working on it for 70 man-hours of billed time, so since there was just me working on the new segment alone, he expected it to take 35 man-hours of billed time. I remember my manager & I exchaning "WTF" glances but we went ahead with the contract... And no, things did not end well (although for a totally different but equally stupid reason).
i don't think about this shit too hard i get all the work done that i can get done and my manager can figure out the rest, after all hes the one that has to MANAGE workload and deadlines and such if something takes longer then it simply takes longer, im already doing my best so theres nothing i can change
Oh you forgot that the prior quarter they where also made records profit, but there's no extra money so they had to drop the dev team, but the AI was a good reason.
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite? Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong Solidarity forever Solidarity forever Solidarity forever For the union makes us strong It is we who plowed the prairies, built the cities where they trade Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid We stand outcast and starving, midst the wonders we have made But the union makes us strong Solidarity forever Solidarity forever Solidarity forever For the union makes us strong All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone We have laid the wide foundations, built it skyward stone by stone It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own While the union makes us strong Solidarity forever Solidarity forever Solidarity forever For the union makes us strong
"our shareholders were expecting this to be done" this is real, it's 2024 and companies are still making fantastical promises to shareholders and "pre-selling" products that don't yet exist to customers then when the deadlines come the workers go "that thing we told you wouldn't be done in time still isn't done" then the managers go "it doesn't matter it needs to be done" like we're suppose to go "oh yeah sure, in that case let me pull it out of my ass, wow who knew it was there this whole time look at that this launch is saved"
You can rent a server farm to train it for you - which isn't going to cost you 10 billion. CUDA is on the cards. You just need notepad. GPTs are not big code wise. The training data is what's big.
