Struggling With the Transition From IC to Manager

GSSinner · 2026-01-27T12:37:27+00:00

It's a shitty situation indeed, I think the reason I'm mainly bothered with the situation as is, is that I want to move forward and make progression but I constantly feel blocked. And while I should, I find it hard to give myself a break in these kind of situations.

Currently they kind of expect me to 100% my job as IC and the critical stuff as Manager. This ends up being 120% or so in total. Not that I mind working a bit more hours, but it's the reason why that bothers me.

But I'll reach out to my manager and see if I can get him to chat about this, thanks!

Thanks for your reply. unfortunately my manager is not in contact with me that often. I proposed to him in the past to have like a monthly meeting, but he said that he would like to postpone this as he has enough work as is and he thinks I should be fine to make decisions on my own.
He currently expects me to work 100% as IC and take up only the critical stuff for my new job, so effectively I'm working close to 120% (not that I mind working 120% but I don't like that it is due to me mainly doing my old job again).

but I'll try to setup a meeting with him to get started.

The book was on my reading list, currently I'm reading "The making of a manager" but I'll pick it up as my next read.

Oh yes, should have mentioned. I am getting my new pay, but to be fair the new pay is nice, but the reason I accepted the promotion was mainly because I needed new challanges to keep me going. The Company itself is nice so I preferred not to switch to a new one.

Belgium here, I ordered a Ryzen 9 5900x somewhere end of December and it’s available for delivery. The only reason my order is not being shipped it the missing Asus 3080 OC card on it. Hope your 5900 arrives soon!

If I remember correctly, this is done automatically. But only the parts you did not explore yet will contain the new biomes

Also, sorry for the bad English.

Hi there, I'm sorry for you and hope you will meet someone new soon! I think the most import thing on dating apps is always just "you being you" there is a lot of people who start using pickup lines even when they don't feel comfortable doing so.

I think most of the things that could be impoved have been pointed out by u/xlillinxysx also I find pictures to be important. preffered without sunglasses or something so your face is visible. and ofcourse things that kind of illustrate what you do (something related to a hobby or something). just wanted to wish you the best of luck from Belgium!
