What do you do when a coworker gets away with everything like missed deadlines, sloppy work, bad behavior and still keeps getting praise? I’m trying to stay in my lane, but it’s infuriating. Do you call it out?

Sometimes speaking up works, but only if your boss actually cares. If not, document everything, do your best work, and make moves where your efforts will be recognized.

That's very annoying when management is playing favorites like that. The problem is, you risk retaliation if you make a big deal of it. As infuriating as it is, my advice is to just keep your head down and focus on your own work.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
