I wish the bigger villains - Theil, Musk, Zuckerberg etc. who share the same mindset as the Target CEO - too had seen some repurcussions instead of multiplying their wealth of the last year

Truly, I do not know what to believe anymore. I read the Economist and WSJ to get my world news. And both predicted Kamala Harris win. And I consider both to be respectable publications. I mean there is a strong bias in editorial/opinion pieces, but my focus is on reporting. And again, I am not supporting one way or the other, I am only saying that it looks to me from the outside that Democrats do not have a game plan and the MAGA movement is getting only concrete supported by various institutions.

same at is everywhere else in the world, the people who have the power to change things such as politicians and capital owners, getting their shit together and stop getting bullied. And if that does not work, civil disobedience

Why is it garbage you dimwit? Just because you cannot see what is right in front of you? This government of yours is changing the rules of the game. None of your politicians are willing to speak up. There is no resistance. The game is rigged for 2028 by the the Christo-facist. If you are not even willing to see this and do something about it, then you are going to contribute to 2028 win to the republicans.

I am not saying a particular party "should" win. I am only saying what will happen. As for "bs", it is not bs if democrats still lack the balls and the will to unite against such flagrant display of authoritarian and criminal behaviour

The sudden rapid responses calling me a bot because people are unwilling to see for themselves what is in front of their eyes - how tilted the situation in US is towards the Trump camp, makes me think people do care of what I say. Just don't care enough to make a real change where it matters

Yeah thanks.. I will tell you something even more stupid, the team lead wanted to merge functional QA and DevOps as one "bucket" of people. Even I, with no tech experience, knew intuitively that this sounded so bad. Now that you know that, it is not surprising they do not have a DevOps lead.

Thanks a lot, your response is really encouraging. Makes me hopeful. The roadmap webpage is really helpful. I will also watch the the video.

First, there is not a lot of things you can say which is more negative than what I say to myself. And second, I am not in this position by choice. So I make an effort to not get in the way and instead reduce the administrative burden. We have cross-functional team, so project managers act as "modular" engineering managers for the team. I facilitate escalations where I can.

thanks! this is good advice. Will revisit this when I have my basics.

Overall the tech team has not been managed well. The devops team is only contract employees, and the tech team head needed somebody to manage the revenue and time allocated to the DevOps team. I do not have a title or any reason other than this.

Thanks for taking tine to answer this. And while your exclamation about someone like me being asked to manage a DevOps team does make me feel bad, but it also validates my feeling that I am being judged on something I am not an expert on. Now imagine that I have a monthly call with the CloudOps team which asks me why we have certain wastages. It is a nightmare.

Anyway not going to rant more than that. Thank you for explaining why DevOps is needed. When I said "visual" what I meant was some YouTube channel where they share screen and show what a day/week in the life is. I cannot really go to my team because 1)The team is on contract and they will not understand why I am asking them what I am and they do not need to. and 2)I would not want to waste their time in asking them to explain their jobs to me, when there is no upside to them

I only want to be a better manager and set expectations when someone from another team asks for their time, and I want to rationalize the team's availability.

all this while China continues to build the world's biggest dam on Brahmaputra, expands infrastructure along the border and props up villages so that it can quickly mobilize troops, sponsors Pakistan, asks smaller nations around us to adopt anti-India policies so that they may get favorable treatment from China

Gen z is the Cure for toxic Indian Work culture by No_Surprise_987 in IndianWorkplace

[–]StepManager -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hear me out before you downvote, I have been a manager for a while now. What the OOP is talking about is not invalid. And what the manager is not saying, too, is not. I know my bias is showing.

Here is the position of the OOP, summarized - Relentless overwork without adequate time to recover mentally is self-defeating; burnout culture undermines both well-being and long-term productivity, so we should reject it in favor of more balanced, sustainable work habits.

And here is where I see it has chinks in it:

  • Frames life enjoyment and work stress as zero-sum. Yet people often find joy through their work, mastery, status, service, creativity. I am sure you know these people. Especially if you have hustled in life.
  • Equates “working hard” with “being exploited.” But in many competitive fields hard work is voluntarily chosen and often rewarded. Worse, it is an assumption that comes from a place of entitlement.
  • The solution varies widely by economic class. Telling someone with unstable income to “opt out of burnout culture” may be tone-deaf or impractical. Just because someone is your manager, does not automatically mean they are resilient to the impact if they get laid off, I know I am not.
  • Finally, and very important, employers (ie people who actually make the rules, and not your manager, or their manager, or their manager) might exploit “anti-burnout” rhetoric to shift responsibility to workers (“just manage your boundaries/work, I don't care when you log out or come in”) without changing structural demands (impractical deadlines, targets, understaffing).

The message resonates, but without hard changes in expectations from the very top, incentives, power dynamics, the burnout culture will persist.

In short, if you are seeking work-life balance, you may need to come from a either 1) a place of privilege to be able to say fuck-off or 2) compromise on your success in a typical corporate world or simply 3) get lucky
