More developers = Instant delivery, Right? /u/Any_Ad7701 CSCQ protests reddit

So, I’m dealing with this VP-level manager who is non-technical and honestly, it’s driving me up the wall. Every time someone tries to talk about something even remotely technical, she literally yawns. It’s not intentional, but it’s clear she just can’t help herself. The thing is, she has a business degree, and every meeting feels like a motivational seminar. She’s always talking about how we need to give people work-life balance and make sure everyone is happy, but in reality, the situation is way different.

She genuinely thinks talking about JIRA is being “technical” and has the audacity to ask if we can deliver a project next week just by increasing the number of developers from 3 to 6. Like, really? It’s infuriating! She has zero understanding of the data, the projects, or what actually goes into the work. It’s just pure fluff and motivational speak.

Meanwhile, the team is made up of experienced developers who are all trying to keep their jobs and do good work. But with this clueless leadership, I’m seriously worried that the entire team might end up getting laid off because she’s completely out of touch with what actually needs to happen.

Jeez, lady, just stop. It’s one thing to want to inspire your team, but when you don’t understand the core of the work we do, it’s doing more harm than good.
