In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:
\\n\\nListener ninjamonkey says,
\\n\\nI am a new grad who is half a year into the role now at a very large company. Recently, a senior engineer on my team asked me to create a ticket for an infra team for a problem with a service. I provided logs and steps to reproduce the issue and did a health check before submitting.
\\n\\nRight after, the manager of the team put me into a group chat with their team, asked why I created the ticket and told me to start doing my job and they can\\u2019t debug for me.
\\n\\nFrom these interactions and comments on the ticket, it feels the infra team will likely not work on the tickets I report or de-prioritize them. This has left me discouraged and hesitant.
\\n\\nI will have to do lots of this kind of infrastructure work in the future. Additionally, one of the goals my manager set for me is to work with more external teams for the upcoming year.
\\n\\nWhat do I do here? Do I tell my manager about these interactions? Do I tell my team lead, staff/seniors to swap out for different kind of story?
\\nI work for a small startup. I was the first employee other than the 2 founders.
\\n\\nBeing the first developer hired, naturally means I have the most knowledge about our application. I also have good organisational skills, which has led to me becoming and being referred to as the \\u201cLead Developer\\u201d.
\\n\\nI have recruited 2 of the 3 new developers, and have trained both of them and got them up to speed.
\\n\\nAt first I was pleased with the progression and was keen to grow into the position, and told the founders so.
\\n\\nSince then, I have changed my mind, I don\\u2019t want to be the lead - due to the following:
\\n\\nI don\\u2019t want to quit my job (just yet\\u2026 its a comin though).
\\n\\nI have actually discussed the above points with them, but I know these 2 founders will never change their ways.
\\n\\nHow do I tell them I just want to go back to being an Individual Contributor like my Employment contract states?
