Nov 27, 2024 15:53
@PlayerOne lets talk about my communication. what about it, and how can I improve it?
Nov 27, 2024 13:41
I dropped a email that I need to work from pakistan for a month, let see how it goes.
Nov 27, 2024 13:36
@motosubatsu that is what I am doing, I wrote a email full of my concern and deleted it, feels light.
Nov 27, 2024 12:03
but also in a unoffical news redundacy is high time in our company and they are letting go of major hired ppl by previous management
Nov 27, 2024 12:03
My concern to email is to show that his attitude was not right and it hinder development and sharing ideas
Nov 27, 2024 11:57
@motosubatsu Is it right that your manager was rude to you? Of course not. But principles won't pay the bills whereas pragmatism might
Nov 27, 2024 11:57
to me about it, so does other. management is very very toxic.
Nov 27, 2024 11:56
as for my current manager, we were under my skip manager but now he is my manager and asking him for help has been very painful, especially yesterday when I was talking he was proper fustarted like I am kid who will break the website, 98% I am autonomus , the toxicity is so much that one senior girl dev called to ask me a acrynom for something in dev, she talked me to only once before, there r huge ppl leaving coz of toxic culture, can confirm that as a person I know for 1 yr use to talk
Nov 27, 2024 11:51
and he in hi scarsm tone said 'did I say that?' like I was lying, so after 1 hour the HR decided theat a new PIP would be in place for 3 months and 1 yr of performance and during that time if not satisfied than termination
Nov 27, 2024 11:50
@motosubatsu not escaped, we had a discussion with HR as well. where everything was discussed and I was so fustrated by the fact my skip manager was sheding negative light on me, like why would u wanna keep someone who cause more issue on website than fix? I told that I was told by skip manager 'if u were in live services business u would survive 1 week etc'

Nov 27, 2024 09:16
@motosubatsu Morning, is it good idea to fire a concern email to my manager, he was really rude yesterdy. concern showing his way of speaking to me was really bad. I couldn't rest last night as if I am so dumb that he wanna keep me on team just to bash me around
Nov 26, 2024 16:29

Oct 11, 2024 15:08
@motosubatsu sorry the message got lost in stack of notification. They didn't. Actually I did that "so let the PIP run naturally if they let it". funny thing is the PIP got converted into ill health capacity thing now. and that is it. no nothing. all PIP point dropped

Oct 3, 2024 11:53

Hello, I am kind of stuck in a postion where I don't know if I should bring in the HR on this, today in meeting while presenting the CTO gave remarks "wasted 2 hours" when I told them what I was doing. this isn't the first time. Last november my previous manager was having conference with me and said "Do you think we are fools?" This has caused me a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety

Jun 28, 2024 10:42

Jun 28, 2024 10:41

Jun 28, 2024 10:40
Hi, I feel stressed by the way I am being treated at work, should I go HR?
Jun 21, 2024 09:01
I am not sure if it is good idea or not coz if I take sick coz I am depressed, I will go onto to SSP
Jun 21, 2024 09:01
Hi, I been on PIP for almost a month and got sick twice. I can feel the PIP is taking huge toll on me in respect to delivery of work, performance (of course) and health. I want to take out remaining holiday to take rest and search for new work (as PIP has been going bad)
