Trending @Infosys; Worse Management

I am in a new project with a new module and my manager hasn't even provided any environment details And i am going to people and asking for details and no one is sure about that When i am a developer and my job should be coding And not gathering environment details That should be done by the manager But he just comes to the daily stand up to ask for an update When i don't even have the basic details

Welcome to Infosys where if you’re in trouble hardly anyone will help you and people will just keep on assigning tasks to you which they should be doing in first place

Managers who have real power to properly fix or throw people are rare, and those rare ones already have good working culture teams. You play like a fool, you're back in talent pool. You play wise, the manager play nice.

Maybe he is also in the same position as you. Maybe it could be a totally new environment to be set up. In my previous company, our development team had no serious/sensible/meaningful tasks during the first few weeks of COVID lockdown as all our source code was secured and stored on-premise. So, they had to migrate everything to the cloud for enabling us to work remotely. But our manager didn't tell us what was going on, and he came up with dumb, repetitive, time-consuming tasks that not at all helpful to the project/company just to make everyone "busy" during that migration time.

Ask your manager what's going on, and what is the expectation from your side without a proper working environment. My wild guess is that your manager might be asking and crying out and begging for the required details in some other daily standup along with other managers, and everyone is ignoring him, he wipes tears and joins your daily standup and asks for updates as there is nothing else he can ask your team at this point but he cannot sit quiet as he is the manager. 😂

"...When I am a developer, my job should be coding and not gathering environment details. That should be done by the Manager..."
Good luck to you surviving here with this attitude! I came to this service-based company with this same crisp-and-clear role attitude from a product start-up culture where my role had borders and was thoroughly defined. But within a few months after joining here, after a rough "servicing" (as in vehicle servicing) from the leads and manager, now I work fine as per their "met expectation". Then I understood the hidden meaning of the terminology, "service"-based company. 😈 Now I am in search of what comments I have to give to my manager during appraisal discussion to make myself "commendable" and what comment among them will make me "outstanding" with my experience certificate.
