I have always had really bad relationships with my PMs. Idk if this is normal but I feel like the way they talk to us developers and engineers is so rude.

I'm so sorry to know that you're treated that way. Manners and attitude is not dependent on the title but on the person himself. If he can't speak nicely to others, then maybe he was also being treated the same way at home.

That's too bad. I've encountered a few bad apples here and there throughout my career, but not enough to say the majority are a-holes. Maybe it's time for you to start looking for another job where the people are kinder and more collaborative.

I agree with this. Most of the people I have encountered have been great.

Wow, it's not just me then haha! I understand where you're coming from...I try to be nice but there's always people that annoy me

Sorry about your experience. I am fortunate enough to have a good relationship with my PM. That is definitely not normal but it sure does happen.

Hope this gets resolved. That is rather unfortunate to feel like you are being talked down to. Sorry you have to go through such a thing.

A bunch of acquaintances / friends of friends have been so kind with helping me think through next steps and even do interview prep. 1/ is it appropriate to send a small item? 2/ if so what are appropriate ideas outside a thank you note eg chocolates, gift card?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

Any ideas how to reward team members who put a ton of work to get a massive project done on time?
Normally I’d take them to dinner and drinks, but that’s not really possible now, and apparently gift cards are taxable and agency doesn’t want to do it. How do you celebrate project launches during the end times?

And before someone suggests raises, yeah I’d love to, but obviously not my call.
