You know how they say: employees don’t leave their jobs, they leave their managers?
From the get go expectations weren’t laid out at all: What I’ll be doing, what my day to day will look like, what is expected of me as a professional, what metrics I’m being measured against.
Im a noob so I didn’t find this particularly concerning. Looking back now, I will think twice before taking a job if the job laid out in front of me isn’t clear.
There’s a phrase they use here: “limited management oversight.” This seems to be a ploy to undermamage.
As a manager, you need to measure performance actively. You can’t just be MIA the entire month or quarter and just show up at the end and tell me I didn’t do anything right.
