There were so many discussions about work, time, balance, big bosses e.t.c.
But I faced a lot of problems in middle management as well. Stupid people, countless talks. It's really annoying.
So people think they talks make value? No, they are not.
I used to be a developer for a long time, switched to management position and I want to say that people are really disconnected from the main workforce.
And it's really true. I am not saying everyone, but 99% of them just think that their 1-1s, talks, talks about vision bring something to the company. But the truth that nobody notices if they disappear.
Moreover being a developer is not so funny like many think. You develop your skills, grow your career, make a product and… some manager tells that company doesn't need it, or that you, your team should use 10-15 year old technologies instead of you want to bring to the company. Or… huge organisation, 2 years of work. And management tells that your mobile app is not wanted by clients, because some UI/UX made a mistake and proposed mobile app (because it is fancy) instead of web app.
I'm tired of stupid people in IT, I'm tired of stupid management in IT.
I've said everything.
