Micromanagement Is Almost Everywhere at Amazon
Micromanagement Is Almost Everywhere at Amazon
Working with smart engineers around the world.
So far, I have worked with two different teams and two different managers.
When you complete 9 out of 10 tasks successfully, managers more often focus on failures. This is clearly micromanagement.
On-call is a really painful role for an SDE.
Please focus more on success than failure. Be specific about performance review.
