An engineer on my team challenges product decisions in front of stakeholders about once a week, sometimes with valid points and sometimes just creating doubt mid-meeting. I don’t want to shut down good pushback, but it’s starting to affect how confident decisions look externally. Would you address that directly or let it continue if some of the feedback is useful?

Once a week sounds like a bad habit. If feedback has been given directly to the engineer, it’d be up to their manager to correct the behavior.

Tactful way to address it in the moment is to thank them for their perspective and let them know you’ve already considered it when making your decision.

Do they take time in releasing offer letters generally , or am I rejected already ?

Also, they mentioned 5% engagement bonus , and 8% annual bonus, do they give full amount , or some part of it.

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project.

What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.
