Should I rage quit?

I think you should quit unless you have a lot of financial commitments. Its great if you have a good runway for 3-6 months, if you dont it’s completely okay live on credit card debt rather than suffering at the wrong place. Do not worry about the 6m tenure, its totally fine leave if you dont like it.
Product Management itself is always kind of stressful by the nature of work itself, and you dont really want additional stress caused by these engineers and managers.

Market is healing slowly and it shouldn’t be a problem finding a new role with 2 months. Go for it, mental peace over anything

Did not read your post at all. Never rage quit. Endure - sharpen your blade and cut once and decisively when the time comes.

Quit if you have the savings. Start a new.

if you do not have savings:

1. Establish some boundaries with your manager.

2. Try to get things on paper/email with engineering so that you can tell them when things were communicated. Make standup minutes if you have to.

3. Checkin with Engineering lead from time to time to see if things are on track.

4. Hold QA accountable for quality. Come up with metrics to judge QA's performance. If the graph goes downwards, ask for a better QA from management.

5. If they're able to absorb so many tardy people, they won't mind a tardy PM. Become one, for sometime, till you have enough savings to quit.

Everything above is easier said than done. It's okay to fail.

This is exactly my story. The fucking engineering background founders don't understand jackshit about the PM role and keep telling them what to do.

Fucking disgusting

Bro I am PM myself but believe me there are 1% companies who do actual product management otherwise everywhere it is project management. Product management is stressful because of this situation.

1. Start using JIRA actively it will kind of expose your engineering and QA team
2. Never ever blame anyone just expose them to everyone and they will be blamed by default
3. Start conducting 1:1 with your manager where mention him the process you follow and ask for feedback. He/she will become much more toned down as he/she will know that you will ask for feedback

Some updates:
I tried talking to my manager’s manager and got a hilarious response. It totally confirmed my belief that this is a toxic place where I cannot think of not quitting. His response was : “Here are some action items from your end- 1. Smile and nod 2. Just say thanks for the feedback, 3. These things happen, don’t fret over it’

So I smiled and said thanks (with fuck you under my breath)

I have decided to stay in the company and make full use of my perks.

1. Do just the bare minimum
2. Attend every call 5-10 mins late
3. Point out release delays and shift blame on QA /Engineer
4. Any time I’m pointed out (which is going to be often) , I’ll smile, nod and say these things happen, next time bitches
5. my company is entirely remote, so schedule calendar busy and say customer calls

I’m going to make use of the next 3-6 months to study and get a side project up and running.
Also I love the money that comes along every month and.

(Ps: To everyone asking about financial stability, I do have enough runway, but once u quit, I think you limit your options. I want to give the above option a try once)

I was in the same position a few months back.

Frustrated to the point of resigning without any backup.

However with time, things swung back to normal (bearable) levels of bs handling.

Unless the situation is messed up beyond a repair (eg verbal abuse) you can hang around till you find another job. Having a 3 - 6 months runway will also help you quit.

If you have the authority, fire someone who underperforms the most and put your foot down. Sometimes it's necessary to show people their place. If not, track each and every datapoint for a few weeks, record every meeting and send it to the higher management at the appropriate time.

Or you could simaltaneously start looking for other jobs while doing the bare minimum here.

Regarding your manager, I am afraid there is no other way other than confronting him. Be polite but firm. You're senior enough since you are a project manager.

PS: Needless to say, I am assuming you're not the underperformer here. Try to figure that out first honestly and then do the above.

Which org ?

Quit. There is plenty of fish to catch.
