It's not as much fun when the analyst makes a mess and you have to pull an all-nighter to remediate.

@M1 I like to think of it differently. If the work that way was delegated to the analyst or the consultant was going to take an all nighter by the time I got around to completing it then as long as the analyst or consultant manage to not mess it up 1 time out of 1 million I still come out ahead because of the 1 time I didn't have to pull an all nighter.

I felt so well rested the next day...that analyst is now my boss

Agree with M1. I delegate because otherwise nothing will get done given full days of meetings. If my team is stretched thin, I take it on myself to try and load balance. Have definitely had a few instances where late nights were needed to fix something my team put together because they didn’t have the right context or I didn’t explain things clearly.

Legit. It’s a great feeling when the team gets to that stage. Working on that with my team, we’ll get there. 😀

Idk when I was a manager I made sure to stay on until the team was done for the night to field questions and offer feedback real-time. Might have been working on other things but always made sure I was the last to log off after project work was done. Prolly not efficient, but my teams always appreciated it

Oh gosh. I remember my first DD as manager. I prepared during an all-nighter then assigned the 3 workstreams with as much details as possible.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
