I am glad it was helpful.

I felt this way about my previous job. It wasn't software development, just general engineering. My boss was terrible at management, he had nothing for me to do. When he did it was mostly "Make me an excel tool kit". I asked for more work, he had none, looked for more work with other managers, they didn't know what to give me. I made up my own projects that I thought would be useful and showed it to my boss. He liked the work but I didn't do it in excel so he had a hard time accepting the work. Those projects taught me Python, SQL, and general software development. My boss left the company a few months ago unexpectedly. I was let go on the same day they gave me a raise. Didn't know what to do with me. Sometimes it just bad management.

I recently got laid off after 5 months as a junior software engineer because they needed a senior developer and I wasn’t learning fast enough and taking the progress I should have. I think I let my anxiety take over specially during lockdown. I do believe in thinks happening for a reason so I’m continuing to learn and hopefully have another opportunity in the future

It might not be the same everywhere. But when I studied law, one of our professors expressed that he is always very wary when facing off against female lawyers, because they made it despite all the disadvantages they face (and that means, they are dangerous, on the top of the game). When you return to your career, I hope you will find the same level of awe and respect that my teachers had for female professionals.

Been fired, been laid off, been unemployed sometimes for years. Even had a nervous breakdown which trashed a lot of my career (25 years as a software/web engineer). Worked for questionable people on Craigslist, also have dealt with mentally ill psycho project managers and people who have no clue and could care less about doing a quality job. I now have an awesome job and I am highly valued. Why? Because I look as each step of the way as building experience, both in technological knowledge, how to manage my time and how to communicate. Also of importance is learning how to use tact, be objective and focus on your real priorities in life (sometimes it’s just having a steady paycheck) It doesn’t matter where you go, you will work with people you don’t like and who don’t like you. Bad code and poor management practices are rampant in software development. It’s important to learn to be objective, find your bliss (not easy) and embrace your suffering. When you can master the latter and not give a shit if you live in a dumpster then nothing will faze you. Life is a lesson.

What is not stated in this video is that some bosses are sociopaths. They foster a culture of fear that can make their employees physically ill. They love the power they have over people. This construct is way more prevalent than you may think. From my understanding, Both Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos followed that management style. Bottom line: Having a good boss, or at least one that's mostly hands-off and respects your judgement, and having good co-workers that will lend a hand when you get stuck on something, may be the biggest determinants of job satisfaction, IMHO.

Definitely having a good boss is key. It is also important to foster good behavior in your boss as well. If your boss treats you well, don't take advantage of that. Make them glad they did by doing great work. Often, harsh treatment is a learned behavior because it gets the best results. Give the best results when you are treated well.

It's good to keep good communication as you said, my last boss thoughts on me were "You're so good that you will ever have to work a lot extra than others, and you have to just accept it" then as you said I could keep a channel of communication and I just understood that the company won't give me a good reward for the extra effort. So a misalignment had to be detected in order to keep motivated, but that's the power of the communication.

Hi Corey, this was really helpful. From what I gather the key here is good communication, being able to talk openly with your boss. But what if you have a speech impediment which gets in the way of communicating how you want and when you want in the workplace for example a mild or severe stutter.

That depends on the situation. First, be open with your boss about it. Work together on ideas that will help. Second, be ok with not being perfect.

Excellent questions and ones that sound both personal and heartbreaking. These are definitely ones I want to address in a future episode. In the meantime, let me give you a few words of advice that might help. First, I was fired (as a senior developer, not just early on in my career). I know it is tough, but don't let being fired define you as a person. Let it define that specific job relationship, not your value as a person or as an employee in general. At the time for me, being fired was tough. I kept coming back to feeling like a failure (and I hate failure). Looking back on it now, it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I wasn't in a great situation (maybe I'll go into details in the video) but I was trying to make it work rather than taking a step back to ask if I should be making it work. By leaving, I ended up getting into a MUCH better environment (with significantly more pay as well - the pay just the icing on the cake) where I was valued and where I could thrive. You should always evaluate honestly a situation like this. Just because it shouldn't define you (and it shouldn't) doesn't mean you cannot learn from it. Learn lots from it. Learn how to better evaluate a new situation. Learn to spot the warning signs earlier. Learn how to start jumping ship earlier. And lastly, learn to improve what you can. Even if the firing was unfair, unjust, and wrong doesn't mean you cannot identify things you could improve. That does not mean those things were reasons to fire you. That doesn't mean you should feel bad about the situation. That just means that no one is perfect and we can all grow. If you let anger and frustration cloud yourself to any flaws on your part, you can miss some valuable growth opportunities. Again, let me be clear - this is not victim-blaming. If you are a victim of an unjust situation, it was unjust. Don't find some small thing and think you share blame in an unjust situation. Just don't overlook seeing if you can fix that small thing to be even better for your next employer. Trusting people is hard. It is extremely hard after you have been burned. I can't tell you a magic cure for that. There are a lot of people out there that suck. I wish that weren't true. However, there are also a LOT of people out there that are genuinely great. It is going to take some faith and discernment to trust people going forward. Here's a small tip - look for small businesses. I've found better success with smaller companies, where owners are more likely to see the direct impact of their decisions. Larger corporations tend to suffer from treating people like cogs. There you are more dependent on finding a good manager (again, there are tons of good managers - there are just lots of bad managers too). At my last company, my boss was one of the great ones. He genuinely cared about his employees. The clues were there even in the interview process - when we discussed the vacation/sick time/work week policies, they weren't just about getting the most possible out of the employees through long hours and little vacation. Just don't forget that people are imperfect. Every boss will have weaknesses. Having been burned so badly, the tendency will be to see the flaws very clearly while glossing over the positives. Do what you can to open up a dialog. Talk to your boss, if you can, before a situation escalates on either end. Going forward, one thing that helps you do better in a new environment is to establish what a high-performing employee does. Then try to hit that standard. Then talk about your progress towards that mark. Sometimes, what the boss is expecting from a high-performing employee isn't quite what you would expect. In that case, knowing the expectations will help you better aim. Bottom line here: some people suck. Getting fired does not define you. You can do this. You have value and there are organizations that need your skills that also have good working environments. You just need to find them (yep, that can be hard). You've got this. I wish you all the best in your search for a new job. I hope this answer helped at least a little. I've got this marked as a high priority for a future video. Because of my recording schedule, that still puts it out a month or two.

Is it important to make Boss happy? What about if it is not what you signed?

First, there is a major difference between being fired and laid off, and this is important because of COVID19. Being fired would be something like worker using a resource for their own use which I seen personal when some use company time for preparing for next job. Worst case is when someone is stealing information. Some things are totally out of one’s control, which is my situation. I found out today that my former boss left the company. The problem is not people in IT department. I believe COVID19 I protected and blessed because this is a wake-up call and gave me time to improve my skills. But there are benefits of communication like this, I was close to getting a job with a respectable company but it did not happen, but I have a possibility of back channels to reopen that possibility. Imposter syndrome is a huge issue now for me-with so much experience in C++ and desired to get into Blazor, employers want actual work and not GitHub. I have full confidence I can handle it and a lot of this is thanks to you Tim., but it not happening.

Bummer. I hope things went well.

Recently I've been employed and the project I've been assigned to as been worked and reworked upon for the past decade. Upon debugging the code to get a better feel for how the system is structured, I was overwhelmed by the amount of solutions and projects created by past developers who have worked on the project. When I run into errors and ask some of the developers on my team for help, they reply with "I don't know!". It seems as though much of the infrastructure was written before they joined the project, and the original developers have now left the company. The project is a large desktop application using WPF. My question is: "What is the best way to breakdown and digest an old project for a new developer working on it?".

That’s a long-term goal that takes getting through a number of years without that safety net.

Bosses need to have one-on-ones with their direct reports, at least once a month. That way, they can communicate the 'polishing widgets' issue before it festers into a poor review. Also, it gives the boss a chance to get to know their employee (and vice-versa) and it opens the door in case that employee needs to talk to them about an issue.

At my company, we have eliminated the annual review. An annual review implies that we are going to wait until once a year to point out problems and reward good work. That's detrimental. Instead, I promise my employees that if I see something that bugs me or that I think is not right, we will talk about it right away. The same is true when they do something great. We talk about it right then. The annual review is replaced with an annual goal-setting/vision-casting session instead. Identifying where we want the employee to be in the next year and planning how they will get there.

Hi Tim, this is a very good channel but I disagree with what you said. You are operating on a wrong assumption. Here is the thing. Your boss's action is not motivated by the interest of the company. Your boss's action is motivated by his or her own job security. With that said your good job performance can actually get you fired. Ego is a common human trait and your boss is not exempt to that. To be honest I have some ego problem too when I started out but I learned very quickly that it is not good for myself (if your colleage is better than you that means there is something you can learn from him or her) or for the company I worked with.

What that is will depend on your boss but doing what your boss expects of you will always be a good thing (as long as your boss doesn't want something illegal or against what their boss wants of them).
