My AE is incredibly disorganized, and it’s somewhat manageable with only a couple of accounts. Now, they are adding 10 more accounts, and I worry that there won’t be structure or plan to approach how we engage and keep up with them. They very much like to fly by the seat of their pants, and their emails are all over the place. They own the relationship, and they are good at building them, but forget about previous conversations, sends short, context-less emails, and I don’t want to micromanage

I was wondering if anybody on here has warned their replacement to basically run and not take the job?? I’m leaving my job next Friday due to a toxic boss that was hired three years ago. I have a week and a half to train my replacement who I really happen to like and I really feel like I need to warn her not to put down roots. I know I shouldn’t even be concerning myself with this, but I’m feeling a lot of guilt not telling her the real reason I’m leaving-has anyone done this?

Giving notice tomorrow. Accepted another offer. Nervous to tell my boss because I know I’ll be leaving them screwed but I’m miserable. Love my team. The client is stupid and the work is soul crushingly uncreative. But still feel guilty :(

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
