Thomas Kopczynski • Hows it going this week?

You • spent 5 hours yesterday
in one single call
being babysat
surprise, we validated and did the same things that proved futile
that i did a month and a half ago...
didnt wanna take my word for it and wouldnt give up

Thomas Kopczynski • Ugh

You • wanna know something funny

Thomas Kopczynski • Sure

You • i found the solution 20 minutes after standup
today
alone
they in standup said they wanna get me in a call with them again
i said no

Thomas Kopczynski • I need to reach kulvwer
he hasnt reached out at all
to me

You • i believe he alluded to the idea he was gonna

Thomas Kopczynski • i set up time w him tomorrow

You • on thursday

Thomas Kopczynski • tomrorow

You • according to standup therse another meeting etup
for me to be babysat

Thomas Kopczynski • lol

You • they are investigating an issue in standup i shared an answer to lmaoo
but also

Thomas Kopczynski • im gonna talk to kulveer today

You • yesterday i got called into a meeting
at 11
10 am finished standup
worked on solution for 1 hour
then i finished that call at
3:48
started working
4:24pm
im asked for an update by kulveer
i tell him explicitly i get no space
i am solving things for other people they should understand and know how to do
these are engineers much older than me
how come im the only one who knows how to distill stuff i dont understand without asking everyone by just reading
jk
but i had ~2 hours
to actually get real work done
and today i dont have time either because evidently another call is scheduled
im just saying if there is a budget for this project (idk)
its a waste of paying me
not taking advantage 😕
and if i provide a solution to any problem
they dont take it seriously
i have to repeat 50000x before consideration lmaoo

Thomas Kopczynski • ugh
im gonna get his perspective
have u ever met the team in person?

You • they are contractors
the only other ford employee on the team is tae
and tae is my guyyyyy
i never get time to work with him tho
hes my age kinda but we are cool w each other
everyone else is contractor
tae asks me for help all the time
i always help, he never runs me around when he comes to me
always productive

Thomas Kopczynski • why would they want the contractors to babysit u

You • theres vivek, hes not a contractor, forgot to mention that but he wasnt on our team
just joined - now our tech lead i believe
whatever that means

Thomas Kopczynski • hmm

You • honestly i cant be my best in the team
it feels like sabotage idk how to describe it

Thomas Kopczynski • yea
i understand that
ill let u know the vibe i get from kulveer
dude moved our mtng to fri last min, so to be continued
