burnoutmanagement

Good team, bad manager. How long do you stay for the learning?

Anonymous2 days ago

My manager takes credit in standups and changes requirements on Friday afternoons. The people around me are great and I'm learning a lot from them. I'm starting to feel tired in a way that doesn't go away on the weekend. Curious where others drew that line.

I'd push back on the Friday changes in a 1:1, not in standup. Bring dates: 'this change pushed X back two days.' A lot of managers don't see how much churn they're causing until someone puts a number on it.

I stayed about a year in a similar spot. What helped was writing down what I actually learned each month. If that list keeps growing, staying can be the right call. If it's empty for two quarters, that's your answer.
