It will never not amaze me how ignorant upper management is. They keep saying they want to grow and develop our talent from within, but refuse to promote or mentor junior level team members. Instead, they push us to hire ready to go, hit the ground running senior level professionals. How are we supposed to “grow” our own talent if we’re not willing to invest in our team? The leadership team here is so dumb, it hurts sometimes.

I see this so often these days. Upper level mgmt that really does not understand how to retain or cultivate talent like AT ALL. Why do you think you have so much turnover and/or employee dissatisfaction? People need a reason to keep working hard day in and day out. Without advancement opportunities, you lose people

That is crazy. Sorry, you have to deal with this. I don't know what it is about managers but once they reach the top, it's like they lose all common sense

Sometimes it takes too long to convert the internal talent and so that's why they go external frustrating I know but sometimes impatience wins out!

ive heard this sentiment from my company too

Perhaps you should ask for the definition of "grow".

I"m seeing this happen alot with companies that used to promote internally. They've changed strategy now and it's all about external applicants

Please share resources that helped you get into PM roles (bonus points if you work at companies like Amazon and Google).

Hello Fishes, Can someone confirm what should be the grade and designation in HCL for around 17 years of experience?

One of the things that my ADD coach helped me with was realizing that I wasn’t prioritizing activities that help me feel recharged. Between work and home responsibilities, I was just burnt out and overwhelmed.

So now when I start to get burned out I focus on reducing auditory overwhelm, getting outside, listen to music, get comfortable, read a fun book, etc.

As we’re heading into the weekend, what are some things you do to recharge and give yourself a break?
