You •
they would sit in a call with me
for hours
say nothing
they dont even know the techstack

Thomas Kopczynski • lol

You • and i would just share my screen working
without any additional input
the position we are in now is not my fault and i am not saying anyone is blaming me but im just saying if i had ownership throughout things would be fine
im ngl i wanna quit lmao
vivek is the reason
i have wasted weeks
of working
i was getting paid to explore a bunch of stuff that made no sense
i want to switch teams
ill work overtime like homework, deliver everything on non working hours
hand off with documentation everything
and switch

Thomas Kopczynski • just tell him it's disrupting and u would prefer not
and who is vivek?

You • babysitter.
vivek is the reason shit wouldnt get done
i hate being blamed for someone elses mistakes because i cant grow from it.
no growth without accountability
but i wasnt given ownership that i had
after vivek came in
it was out of my control

Thomas Kopczynski • whats his role?
vivek

You • idk but im ngl idk if im cut out for enterprise
like i love ford dont get me wrong
its funny how
problems only came up
when vivek came
like no one would listen to me
and my direction
like i made auth from scratch

Thomas Kopczynski • Ok

You • ive done these without libraries
with proof

Thomas Kopczynski • Slow down
Tell me who is vivek

You • apparently "Mobility Sol Architect"
he has a team

Thomas Kopczynski • Ok

You • with like 2-3 devs
and alot of free time

Thomas Kopczynski • Do u report to him?

You • and so he spent weeks
babysitting me
no i report to kulveer
they pushed him on me
ambush
like its not that i dislike him
but its like tina
yesterday

Thomas Kopczynski • So tell vivek or his dev that you dont feel comfortable working that way

You • but 24/7
like i am respectfully saying
it was dumb
like stupid
unproductive, we lost weeks in time imo
i got paid for nothing
i would ask myself why am i here lol

Thomas Kopczynski • Ok

You • i would tell them
but they would cross boundaries
haha
ill start ignoring but idk

Thomas Kopczynski • Hold up

You • like i would tell them
i have to get work done

Thomas Kopczynski • Just tell him this ferndando guy

You • i have to do this i have to do that
fernando is fine, its vivek telling him yk

Thomas Kopczynski • Thats fine
Just tell fernando, u too busy and need to be heads down

You • vivek wants us to be in a worse position and delay more
jk
like its like punching someone and asking why my hand hurts
and blaming someone for the pain in their hand

Thomas Kopczynski • Lol

You • ok ill set a boundary
and tell him im too busy

Thomas Kopczynski • Yea
Dude EAs are separate team why do they even have devs just tell em u workin and need to work solo

You • i will
u know i would beg for one hour alone
to work a day
it was to the point where i would comprimise
compromise *
i would ask them give me one hour of alone time and the rest is theirs
i would usually only get work done during that one hour...
ill set the boundary
can i just ignore people?
im going to stop responding to him

Thomas Kopczynski • Yea just stop
Vivek isnt in your direct orbit, kulveer needs to protect u in this

You • kulveers not on my side
he thinks im arrogant
im not offended
i know what i am its not arrogant

Thomas Kopczynski • but u just tryin to work uninterupted
regardless if u arrogant or not
he shlould look out for u

You • he thinks im belittling people
sorry im not a yes man
if something is incorrect im going to speak up for corrective action so we can win
im tryna win
not get a participation trophy

Thomas Kopczynski • sure, but u still gotta be nice

You • you're right
but nice just ended up getting my boundaries annihilated and things set back
im trying to be honest and realistic
theres being nice and fake positivity i have to say something for what it is
doesnt mean its mean

Thomas Kopczynski • sure
but
still be tactful
be direct, that's fine
everyones comm style is different
and kulveer should be protecting you

You • thats true

Thomas Kopczynski • also
you need him on your side, cause your supervisor gonna be the one who promotes u

You • honestly not worried about a promotion
id rather be in another environment / team
and start there
no mobility if i have to convince
would be outta pity and i dont like that
i tied my motivation to sticking to the team
and committing

Thomas Kopczynski • ok
i have to go to volunteer thing tomorrow so i will be out in morn
but
next week
i will talk to kulveer

You • ok but i wanna say i dont wanna solve this even if hes the one who would promote me
ill deliver on my promises and not leave the team empty handed thats for sure

Thomas Kopczynski • we can talk early next week on how u r feeling then
sit w it for a bit
u dont want to make rash decisions based on fleeting emotion
trust me

You • i agree
lets see how i feel next week, but not when heated either

Thomas Kopczynski • good

You • thanks ill talk to you next week although kulveer said he needs to talk to my fcg advisor
assuming thatd be you

Thomas Kopczynski • and i agree that u need to be in an env where u can thrive
yea 

You • yes
exactly
if i cant be outside of the tank then i wanna be a small fish so i can grow
i feel like a big fish seen as a little fish

Thomas Kopczynski • We will work on it
