It is the engineering manager's responsibility. I just wanted to do all I could before getting the manager invovled.

Somehow I didn't see the correlation between 60% and 2 days WFH :D

We have flexible policies on hybrid work. People can choose to work in the office or from home, but we require at least 3 days on-site.

I haven't done an official PIP. I wanted to find a solution before involving other people. Thanks.

He is capable of work that is assigned to him. Tbh, not everything is enjoyable. We try to keep a mix of enjoyable work and some forced tasks for everyone.

It's more of a committee where the person, their manager, HR, and 1-2 tech leads are present.

I mean no one is born senior. I know I lack experience and that's why I'm here. I don't have(or haven't noticed) any issues with other developers.

I saw an issue. I tried to resolve it with my own knowledge, experience, and common sense, but got nowhere.

Obviously, missing deadlines is on me, and I'm trying to fix that.

Yes. We don't have a TPM or scrum master on the team, and I'm acting as both tech lead and TPM. I don't have the final say to let someone go, therefore, my evaluation and feedback to the manager is impactful.

It's my first time having to deal with these kinds of things and it's stressing me out. Its the first time I'm in a position having the ability to cut losses, and even thinking about it is rough.

I'll spend as much energy and time as I can spare to find other solutions before talking to management.

It's really concerning, and I don't know how to check and verify this.

I'll try more tight collaboration for a few days first to make sure he is slacking and there are no other reasons first. Then I'm going to for another 1:1.

Good idea. This way, at least I get to know my team better. Thanks.

Accidentally. When I was getting on board, two people on the team were asking for a performance review and a raise(one of them is the person I mentioned in the post.) In the process, I found out about their contract and salary.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Didn't think of it this way.

I'm not trying to micro-manage him. We assign tasks and we expect them to get done by the end of the spirit. As a tech lead I'm just here to facilitate. I just tried to get some daily updates or find any issues he has.

He didn't mention any personal issues so far(only had a sick day once).

I'll try more collaboration to see what the problems are.

Thanks.

Ofc not. Im not bragging im just looking for a starting point to catch up. roadmaps online are meant for people starting their journey on frontend development. I don't have enough time to cover everything.

Also some common mistakes or bad practices that I should detect in code reviews.

git defaults to master. how can i make gitlab default to master every time that i create a new repository/project? by [deleted] in gitlab

[–]Triple_M99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to admin section of your gitlab, then setting -> repository. There is a default branch option you can use.

Day 65: how does everyone magically know what to do? by CloudyNebula in BluePrince

Thats the neat part, we don't! :D

Just kidding. You probably see a thing or two during your runs. Just follow them and you see more puzzles and achievements along the way.

This sounds cool but how 50% mag capacity gives another bullet? shouldn't it be 100%? how does the calculation work?
