This. I've left 3 big tech companies in the past 2 years because the leads on our partner teams are not training new hires, and no one writes anything down, and thus our product owners are nightmares to work with. I'm not getting any training from my leads either but I have 20 years of experience. I'm so done with tech, I'm happy to guide people but it's not my damn job to train employees on another team. Especially when I'm not allowed to tell them how to work or create processes for them; team leads can do that but they don't take our advice. I've started just phoning it in like everyone else or i stress too much and lose sleep. This is my last tech job, my career path in UX ends with this one. It's not worth it. (And no, I've never wanted to be a team lead, I like certain aspects of my career but I loathe these giant corporations and most of tech. I'm not spending a weekend on a budgeting deck lol)

This whole comment speaks to my soul. Is really every modern company this fucked up? 


Everything run lean as heck, system-ownership murky/shared/I’ll-defined, if you want to change things you have to run through endless bullshit hoops (not because of management, management doesn’t care at all) but because it’s a goose chase trying to find the system owner, and the actual system owner maybe doesn’t even know that they are. This bullshit with “every team is it’s own little start-up teheh X) pitch us your ideas and butter us up for the necessary budget, please us our marketing guidelines although it’s completely internal”. Also the CEO has randomly decided that he cares about this one particular part of one of your responsibilities, so please completely rework that by tomorrow 10.30am when he does his CTO+stakeholder roundtable (would take 2 weeks and accomplishes literally nothing of value) 


Would continue but gotta go to work…
