The most difficult thing about working in the big tech is managers
Ah, this rant again, from an early-career IC who’s likely done more I’ing than C’ing.<p>Cool. The idea that managers are just “cracking the whip” and “taking credit for your work” tells me you’ve had nearly zero real world experience (who’s teaching you things, who’s helping you develop, who’s making sure other teams know what you’re doing, who’s making sure that your work is in alignment with the rest of the org, etc etc etc), nearly zero interaction with anyone other than your peers, and have no idea what leadership does.<p>But go off comparing managers to monarchy, of all inane things. And that’s aside from suggesting that managers are responsible for your mental health issues. That’s low and childish.
