New in my market and just got review feedback that said “this region (the South) is more passive aggressive, we don’t do well with people (I.e. you, from up north) who shoot straight. You’ll also do..

Well to smile more, and sit with us when you’re in the office (which is never, b/c I’m at clients 95% of the time).” I feel like I just stepped backwards 🤦🏽‍♀️

What I will not do is bend over backwards. Hard line drawn in the sand, been there done that, and it wasn’t beneficial. I’ve been in this office for three months and have done all the attending events, reaching out, trying to get to know folks, etc and mostly been blown off. So it’s rather disingenuous to hear this from one of these same folks. The relationships will happen organically as I work on various teams, and that’ll be that.

Like EY 1 stated, at least you were given an honest feedback and you know going forward.

This is sad though 🙆🏾‍♀️

Sad for sure.

Exactly why I'm not built for the South

Exactly why I left the south to work in philly. Up north people don’t give a fuck about shit like that, only results

I need some advice. Where does the accountability sit for determining resource allocation of engineers? For background, we’re working on a feature for a customer which has meant the team working on it have had to borrow engineers from another engineering squad to aid with build. I’m being asked by the engineering manager when she’s getting her engineers back. I feel like this is not something i should be deciding and asked she discuss it with her counterpart and head of engineering

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
