👀 What's the pettiest thing a manager has ever done to you or someone you know?

Our CIO is pushing us to learn a programming language that no one has heard of. He used it in his old job. One looked into it and found that no company or government agency in my state used it. It doesn't appear in TIOBE Index. It doesn't appear in Stack Overflow's to programming language. My colleagues and I see this as a huge career limitation. What can we do about this?

Sad, my LinkedIn profile rarely gets any views and even with Premium only appeared on 20 searches last week😥

If every employee had an AI assistant that doubled their productivity, would companies hire fewer people or expect twice as much work?

I’m currently managing a project where the Product Manager and the Lead Designer are exes, and my life has become a high-stakes telenovela. Every single roadmap meeting turns into a passive-aggressive debate about user flows that feels way too personal. The rest of the engineering team just sits there on mute. Should I take this straight to HR?
