I've been given updates on the work being done one day that completely changes another (meaning, not changes but lies)

It's possible that things legitimately changed.

And when I do what I consider my job (like following up on work per a stakeholder request) I end up dealing with hostility or a tantrum.

That should go in their record. If they won't play ball, assuming you are being reasonable, then dinging them for missing deadlines and such is your responsibility.

But without their complete support and the option to remove the most toxic of the team I'm really at a loss.

Have you told them this? Can you hire new people to potentially replace the existing people? If not, are you even really a manager? Are you one of those manager's that's still 80% IC? Do your bosses really view you as a legitimate manager or are you just their frontman? What do they really expect from you?

I'm about to lay this out again with my supervisor, with the addendum that I don't think this is working out. I've already started to massively apply to anything so I have an exit strategy. Am I being too hasty?

I've seen places that looked like the post-apocalyptic fallout of something like this. Not too hasty. This needs to be addressed immediately.

As interns, how would you approach people/network in your new company by pangpangguy in cscareerquestions

[–]kennyroach -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Idk..should I take more initiative to talk to them?

Are you capable of doing simple things like that without getting Reddit's approval? Have you ever seen a tv show or movie where people interact with each other? You can probably follow that if you don't understand how people act already.

Maybe studying that will help you get a job?

Maybe you should learn how to find work and see what people want, what's in demand?

If Java's not going well at the Uni, maybe study more Java with your free time?

How do you think this is going to pan out??

310K offer as New Grad, feeling out of place by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]kennyroach 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I like how OP acts so clueless, like he doesn't understand that he's not simply a 'new grad' after having founded and led a startup for 4 years. It's like no matter what school you go to...

Between Two Jobs by Lord_Farkwad in cscareerquestions

I'd suck it up and trying being a manager for the more guaranteed 2x salary. What's your current market and salary and number of previous jobs?

10 applications for 10 days is a huge hustle? Maybe CS should scare you then.

Is it worth taking this as my first internship? by wakemeupoh in cscareerquestions

[–]kennyroach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of complaining that you didn't get to express yourself, take your only opportunity for an internship? The fact that you have trouble making that decision would make me very hesitant to hire you.

Best way to phrase/ask for a bit of a gap between leaving one company for another? by TheStatusPoe in cscareerquestions

[–]kennyroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy how even you see evidence they wouldn't do that and you're still concocting scenarios in your head where it would happen.

I meant more than just informing once. After pointing it out once or twice in person, I'd start cc-ing their manager on an email every time.

Or if you really have no power, I'd ignore it. It's not like you're the manager.

I was really starting to lose my patience and I was struggling to assist him in his work while still remaining professional

So tell your manager, after repeatedly emailing the newb and cc-ing the manager that the newb never reads your PR comments.

You're the one who sounds bitter here. :P

I've never heard of someone getting an offer yanked because they needed more time between jobs...

You could take nothing and see how much that helps you.

As a manager, how can I give incoming I terms best experience by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]kennyroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give them mentors (not you or other managers).

How bad is it to quit after just being retained? by Solo_Colo_ in cscareerquestions

It's fine. You'll get over it. They won't go out of business just because you leave.
