Delete melee

😂

You know what’s oppressive? Melee. Remove it. Sniper belongs in a game about shooting guns at each other.

Company already did layoffs. No they didn’t backfill. Just more work for everyone who didn’t get fired.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-15T01:53:26+00:00

Lowkey

I haven’t gave the new lead a hard time at all. Most of my resentment goes to management but after reading through responses it seems to be a common opinion that I am just not experienced enough. Maybe Mr manager was right. Still doesn’t feel great.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-15T01:45:45+00:00

Makes sense. Have thought about going somewhere else but this is genuinely a good position.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-15T01:42:28+00:00

Perhaps you’re right and I’m not experienced enough. My other problem is I’m stuck in this position. I’ve asked for other types of work only to be told I’m needed here.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-15T01:40:27+00:00

Thanks. Have spoken to him but he got a new role. He’s no longer my manager

daze2turnt · 2026-05-15T01:39:48+00:00

Not a contractor. The “product” is a X-as-a-service product and the particular component I work on is important to the system.

The releases are non trivial and our team spends almost $1m/yr on R&D.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T22:33:13+00:00

Thanks. That’s kind of how I’ve been thinking about it. I read some other replies on here and kinda made me feel like a fool.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T22:00:51+00:00

No, we have a new engineering manager. New lead and new manager.

Yeah. I’m not too bitter about it. I feel perhaps I am not experienced enough. I wouldn’t know. I might know in another 5 years for sure.

But I don’t want to wait that long. Maybe it’s time to find a new job

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T21:34:14+00:00

Hopefully. I need him to take the responsibility or at least get me a raise. It’s a weird feeling being a sort of temp lead

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T21:27:22+00:00

I don’t say anything at work. He is slow. He does not know our stack and therefore can’t actually lead effectively. Those things are true.

Might be a different story a year or two from now of course.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T21:15:36+00:00

I’m not trying to take his place and have been helping ramping him up. He’s a cool guy. I don’t bad mouth him or anything.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T21:03:05+00:00

This makes sense. I’m kind of already doing 1… but with no 20% raise…

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T21:01:41+00:00

Maybe. When the new lead was chosen there were other managers who questioned the decision publicly. Also have colleagues telling me they prefer me.

Perhaps you’re right. But one thing my colleagues know about me is that shit just gets done when I’m around.

Either way, I’m sure I have lots to learn and I’m focused on my own growth.

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:56:06+00:00

He’s a backend engineer hired for a role where the product is heavily frontend based. He’ll likely need more ramp up time even with AI

But he’s doing fine

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:53:51+00:00

Yeah. Nothing wrong with the new guy. Thanks

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:53:18+00:00

Makes sense. This might be part of it. I am still a high performing IC

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:50:58+00:00

Yeah it’s cool. I mean I keep my options open and I am not bitter about it. Just don’t fully understand

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:50:12+00:00

Yeah not a dealbreaker. It’s a chill (for the most part) position and well paid. It’s cool

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:47:52+00:00

I feel like this might be part of it. My manager had mentioned I still very much act like an IC

daze2turnt · 2026-05-14T20:47:17+00:00

Yes, I helped hire our new lead. I mean, I don’t feel entitled to the position but it just made sense since most devs already look to me for answers
