HiroProtagonist posted:If you can PM it to me I'd be interested. I'd rather not foment more conspiracy so I'll spill it here. I irresponsibly threw an accusation that my company was burying a covid connection to a recent employee death. I actually have no facts to suggest that and was being overly cynical and sharing too much. They really have been on top of sequestering everyone and pushing for social distancing for the past week and a half so it would actually be uncharacteristic. It was hasty. Now, if I did find out the contrary with facts, I will absolutely start blowing whistles.

Just heard on a senior leader call. Following up on this tirade from the other day. The death still has not been confirmed COVID (not sure someone is actually testing) but there have been multiple other people testing positive from the facility that hadn’t been in the office for a week when I posted. Since then we’ve had at least a half dozen locations with positive tests and each one has been immediately shut down, cleaned, and the folks working there sent into self-quarantine. So, yeah, I got it all wrong. They have been extremely aggressive with shutting things down as soon as there is any evidence of infection.

Apparently we're moving to a more sandboxed product. Which in principle I like, you take this corner here and if something goes wrong, nuke it. But it's still more control than I like on my personal device. Thanks!

FrozenVent posted:Remember: your job is to coach, encourage and allow your employees to do their job better, not to do the job yourself. Absolutely this. Focus on replacing yourself by developing your people to do so. Give them challenging assignments and support to complete them. Rinse,repeat for as long as it takes so that you replicate you as many times as possible. Then people will see how well you develop and bring people up. Makes it easier to move you/promote you when your replacement is obvious.

One more thing. Cultivate an environment where you don't make any decisions. Encourage your team to only bring you opportunities to provide input and that they make decisions that you support. Of course, your opportunity for input precedes their action so you can interject. In reverse, do this for your leader. Bring FYI and opportunities to provide input and make decisions. I LOVE sending notes like, "Here is the information.... I'll be sending this over at 4p today. Please let me know if you have any input ahead of that." Then you do it, no waiting for them and you have cover if they dislike it but never responded. Shows that you are taking action but not blindly.

Dik Hz posted:This only works if your boss isn't a sociopath. And given that they're at least a director in a corporation, the odds aren't good. Everything still applies. You provide opportunity for input and you don't ask them for a decision. If they demand to make one, that's your input.

FrozenVent posted:Yeah I usually brief the facts and offer two options. I just transitioned to a new role in my company and eventually got my prior team running to a point where I really did absolutely nothing all day except talk over problems my people were trying to solve. It felt like cheating. But then I realized that it's exactly what my company wants me to do. Build processes, accountability, systems, and technology to have the organization work without brute force from a leader. Now I'm back at the start trying to not drown, completely opposite experience.

Handsome Ralph posted:Had my last day on Friday. No one reached out for an exit interview and my manager no-showed our usual scheduled Friday afternoon 1:1. Only thing I got was an automated email from HR asking me to fill out an exit survey that takes 60 seconds. Good move on skipping the opportunity to vent. In a couple weeks you'll have moved on and forgotten about it and it would have only served as a potential negative in the future, even if a remote possibility. Zero upside as we all know that nothing will change with your feedback.

Did my mid year review today with chatGPT and it was an incredible experience. Fed it a few bullets of accomplishments and the format of the review template. A couple back and forth exchanges and I had the best one I've ever written. Just incredible stuff. I have no guilt since the content was all mine, but I outsourced all the flowery corporate prose and perfunctory bullshit. 10/10, would use again

Communicate exclusively through email going forward, including the requested good morning. Walk by her without acknowledging her, sit at your desk, and send the email. More seriously, definitely email a lot to provide evidence that is likely to be contrary to any stories she's going to start whipping up about you. Congrats, you got yourself a work nemesis.
