It would be - if there was something in it for you. A bonus, a raise, a chance to pursue an interest within the company. Otherwise, it's an opportunity to do all your future projects one important FTE short.
My experience has been that people are promoted to the job they are doing so sometimes that "Its an opportunity" statement is true. However if your management sucks thats likely to be an opportunity to do more for the same pay.
It's not really a promotion though. I'm a technical product owner/architect that has no interest in doing the non-technical stuff. I don't even see how it could roll into that. I already get into trouble for saying I don't care how it's done and calling user story points monopoly money-- to quote a great statement that applies "It's not that I'm lazy, I just don't care"
Yes there is the problem for Engineers who dont want to move into management. At some point you either have to be working on the thing(s) that expand the business and make money or you just top out. At some point the single highest value you have at a company is managing more people who can do things because you know how they most likely should be done. It's not that fun and often not respected from below but from above it's how the company grows so they value it highly. Sorta sucks if thats not the route you want to go.
Yeah I already made that sacrifice last year... the choice between getting a new manager or becoming one pushed me. I now have 5 reports and am the PO for the team... now the SCM too...
My mom replaced her chest freezer cause she wanted a standing one and I ended up with her old one. Man it is so damn convenient.
Were you shopping at Walmart again?
absolutely. makes it so much easier. much tastier than most frozen meals, less sodium, and better quality ingredients, not to mention about 20% of the cost.
Giganotosaurus !
Really great to read your post Butcher, this made my night!
A lot of this sounds like exactly my experience, so I commiserate with you brother. Be good to yourself.
Dude, me too! In the past 5 years I went to the theater for Blade Runner 2049 and Isle of Dogs. This year I've already seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Spirited Away: Live on Stage. I am probably seeing Asteroid City and Barbie in the theater as well.
I just planted about 80 small plants over the last 2 weeks.It's planting time where I'm at, I think the last frost is over with so we've started working on the botanical aspects of our front and back yards.
You know what's even more annoying. My elderly aunt sends greetings to all of these people as a mass text with an image. People feel compelled to respond to everyone rather than just sending something to her.
I get that with any emails from our dojo. Every black belt feels the need to reply all to every bit of news from our head Sensei.
At least you can create a rule- with a mass text, you can't do anything. I don't know after all this time why phones haven't given a good option for leaving mass texts without blocking the sender.
Between this and later this year 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter', is Dracula working on a comeback?
Looks cool. But why do they always add this stupid music to movie (and game) trailers?
I think the 'In a World... One man stands between... Beyond your imagination ' guy died a few years ago. This was the best they could come up with as replacement.
