Agree 100%. I’m at the tail end of fours years at a FAANG and have worked with several different teams.
I’m always dumfounded by the fact that people even one or two levels above me (Director or Sr. Manager level) don’t even have a basic understanding of the impact that their ‘goals’ have on the people who actually deliver them.
Of course they praise us for delivering during challenging times, but then they go and setup a roadmap for the next year that creates the same situation.
This coupled with the absurd income disparity between internal employees and new hires is finally starting to burn me out.
