Working as a senior developer. Dealing with anxiety and depression. Unable to focus on work and slipping due dates. Already made a bad impression on the entire team. Don't know how to proceed? Is it a good approach to discuss such things with the manager?

You should seek help from a counsellor and not your manager. Mental health is still a stigma in our country so opening up to him might have bad consequences. Once you start the treatment (counselling/meds) then you can expect your productivity to go up as well and then you can tell him/her. First aid would be to get help from where the help can be given which might not be your manager.

You can seek help from a professional, which is the ideal solution unless the company, team and work culture is the cause.

When manager is bullying you and HR foesnt come with a resolve, neither do the senior managers bat an eyelid, what do you do ?

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?

My idea is not to enjoy the free time and sit on my *ss, but to figure out side gigs, passive income streams or even start a startup. (more)
