Things changed dramatically after my last manager was laid off and the new one came in. The constant criticism, micromanagement, and obvious favoritism have made the job exhausting. I'm actually finding myself hoping my position gets eliminated because leaving with severance sounds better than continuing like this. That's how bad it's gotten.

Just tell her you love her and miss her dude. Everyone knows you feel like sh-t without her and what you did. Even "borrowing" her phrasing in your posts.
Man up and keep your word. Duplicitous. Yes you are.
@2mc
DDAT’s duplicity, skullduggery, and empire building….
Lolllll ohh this is rich. Guilt conscience and projection. Pot meet kettle.
EMPIRE..like NY or Star Wars.
You know what. Aetna processes...and systems...
The North Remembers.
And the name is legend now.
Ask someone about a VP luring one of those systems developers up to a hotel room...and how soon that developer was gone.
@2mc
There's a bunch of legacy Aetna people in DDAT who aren't doing sh-t except propping up their bosses egos and nortgages.
Some of these valuable systems that are proprietary Aetna were stolen by skulldugery from the people who created them, coded them and lead the teams that did the hard work by the people who are still there.
Karma is a bi--h.
This is BS. Aetna is floating the company’s growth and stability at this point.
Only DDAT goons blame “muh legacy Aetna.” Because the Aetna people are the only ones standing up to DDAT’s duplicity, skullduggery, and empire building….and DDAT is clawing away to get more of proprietary Aetna systems and processes (as dated and cumbersome as they are, they contain the real value of the enterprise)
@1en
Its not just TM. Some of this is legacy Aetna issues.
It's BKs fault.
There's a bunch on people in the Aetna food chain who got where they were based on a LD being related to you or a closeted guy Indian giving their boss a ride ...
You 100% must be in DDAT. Ever since TM brought in his dudes... you describe the place perfectly.
When you have an emergency fund, all of this becomes comically entertaining.
@ef Daily Stand Up. I suspect.
@ew not to laugh but my goodness it has to be the same person I’m thinking of not it’s sad this company has multiple aholes like this
@ec
The person who put them there didn't like competition.
@ef "Daily Stand Up". Usually a quick, morning check-in on in-progress work items. Very granular. Senior leaders being there is a red flag (a sign of micro-managing, rushing or shifting priorities or deadline, poorly defined work, not trusting process, teams and individuals, etc.)
@c5 sorry what is DSU?
@cx I still can’t wrap my head around MG being a director.
I want to know what area too.
DDAT is too big at this point. There are people who are Directors that ruin their staffs careers out of fear and jealousy. Seen it first hand. MP.DM.MG.RI.MM
DDAT Developer promoted to Director.
I’m in ddat my dir joins every DSU.
Not OP but finance has a bad case of it. I'm hoping to be laid off but I suspect they are trying to avoid paying out.
Can we say names? Initials? Area?
He literally put tracking software on people. Not only that’s he gets notifications when you’re in Away so he will IM you a message pertaining to nothing.
Yes very familiar. It’s out of control. I already anticipate a sh-t$y increase because it’s all gonna go to the favorites.
Sounds VERY familiar, especially the micro-management and favoritism.
