India is about to get a whole lot of woodworkers and gardeners.
That sounds like a .... good thing?
PS: I didn't realize wood working and gardening are therapeutic. Sounds like a wonderfully productive solution to a pesky problem.
As a 4 day tech worker, 1 day community gardener, I can vouch for the therapeutic nature!
I worked (in USA) at an IT firm that was constantly stretched thin. I wanted to move on but the burnout made searching for a new position very draining. The best thing that happened was two rounds of layoffs. I was one of the highest paid staff and got let go.
I now work at an org that is incredibly well-staffed with awesome tooling. My job is incredibly easy by comparison. I had drinks with my former manager (a pretty good friend) last week. He's considering moving on this summer due to broken promises of a bonus and a raise. Taking my job away from me was the biggest favor they could have given me.
Sounds like it was a good idea to leave. What I dont get is that your ex manager hasnt left despite broken promises. Basic trust is like the only thing that holds me anywhere.
I think he feels a sense of loyalty, or used to. They promoted him into a leadership position. He hasn't had it long enough to come into a new org at the same level. He's been a manager for three years. We discussed five years being the minimum viable experience (in our convo) to translate to the same position in another org.
Interesting idea! :) thanks for elaborating. I didnt know there was something like this. As a CEO I looked at people for their talents and potential, never for their experience for it is deceiving. But a larger company would obviously need some kind of process that someone without the gift of recognizing talent can follow.
That what happens when you race to the bottom.
I had to get some login issues fixed working for a big tech company that had outsourced that particular set of work. The Indian person I interacted with could not give a fuck less. Total burnout, I felt bad for him.
Explains the output of the contractors my company is determined to use
Nah, that's just because your company uses the cheapest of the cheap.
