A small message for leads and managers
Hi leads and managers,
I am working in industry for 5 years now, and I can say that i have seen different kind of seniors, leads, peers, managers. Few were supportive, collaborative, good mentors, and approachable people but on the other hand I have seen the most disgusting people as well.
There are leads and managers who:
Create fake urgency of work
Micromanages
Pin points mistakes and play blame game without coming to any solution
Wants employees to butter them and keep them happy
Shouts like roadside dogs and keeps on shouting until you beg them to stop
Makes fun of you just to show how funny they are
And I just want to address this post to all them.
Please understand that you are working with humans, they are grown up adults with a life and something that you may not be aware of. If you are bored and need drama and spice in life, go and watch serials or focus on your own life rather than pulling others down and behaving like a roadside dog barking screaming shouting.
As a lead senior manager, learn how to deal with different people before actually handle them. Learn psychology, kindness, basic human decency.
Many might say that 'thats how corporate works', but why do you want to pass on toxicity of corporate? Why are you doing insecure to help and let other grow? Why can't you be a human first then an employee? Since decades these saga of toxicity continues and if you are in position to change it, please show empathy, kindness, practice how to listen to people, be approachable and a human first.
This world is anyway ruined with so much hatred. So, don't ruin it more. :)
