I work with one of the IT MNC in India. I have a team of 4 engineers including myself. Let’s call them Nena, Sana, Nana, and myself (Papa).

All 4 of us are very well-bonded teammates handling tremendous workloads. Last year, our manager, who supported us greatly, had to leave the organization for personal reasons. We worked on some of the most critical and technically complicated projects without making a fuss about it. Our manager knew our contribution and always helped and encouraged us.

After his departure, a new manager joined our team. He had the attitude of taking every technical detail lightly. According to him, all we engineers do is simple work and can be googled in 10 minutes without much hassle. He started treating us like shit, by not approving our leaves (PTOs), rejecting our allowance requests, and asking us to do his work.

We took this shit for about 2-3 months and then started to push back saying we already have a tremendous workload and we could not work with a manager like him. He retaliated saying that teammates are not efficient with work. He kept on abusing us for a couple of months.

All 4 of us were tired of his condescension. Nena was looking for a job outside, and so was Sana. Both of them, being damn good at what they do, got jobs elsewhere and resigned. I also resigned as I was aiming for higher education. Nana got another project within the firm and moved out.

Now that all 4 of us left the project, the manager had to fill in the position, and looking at the workload, every candidate interviewed rejected the offer to join the project. Now the project is flagged as red due to multiple escalations from customer and the firm has to fire the manager.

Moral of the story - Don’t try to fuck with engineers.
