Episode 81: Unwilling To Grow and Forced Out During Two Weeks Notice

Soft Skills Engineering

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

  1. A developer on a team I lead doesn’t seem interested in growing. How do I help them engage more?
  2. I gave two weeks notice, but was told part of the way through to not come in any more. I still had work left and this made me feel bad. Is this common? Did I do anything wrong?

Jamison talks about the Khan Academy engineering culture. He kinda misquoted it though. They don’t explicitly say they lay people off who don’t progress.
