we have absolutely no structure because our managers are fucking useless and have no backbone to stand up and fight for what's right not just for us, but what actually makes senseGantt charts? What are you guys, waterfall?? lol. No wonder you hate trello, y'all ain't even agile!
Trello sucks on its own for reporting. We wrote a python tool to generate burn down charts. But for a kanban board for tracking stories and points it works just fine.
Ah, no wonder you want a new job.we have absolutely no structure because our managers are fucking useless and have no backbone to stand up and fight for what's right not just for us, but what actually makes sense
an exec says he needs X, we are told to drop everything else and build it.
i have 23 things 13-98% done and currently have 4 'the president asked for this' things that will solve 0 problems in queue that are complete tangents to the product. 22 of those 23 things are never going to deploy because they will merge-out and basically need to be re-built from scratch

It's the same problem everywhere I've worked... at some point, someone at some level is a giant pussy and won't fight for what's right because they are afraid to lose their job.
This is the culture here in Silicon Valley. There are 4 jobs for every dev in the Bay Area. When I worked at Kohls for 8 months on their webstore with them, they learned this quick. The execs were based in Milwaukee and thought they could be assholes and people would stick around because of the good pay. Nope, my last day there were 3 other developers leaving at the same time.This is the same at every company in the entire country EXCEPT.....Amazon. At Amazon nobody expects to be around for more than 2 years anyway and even if they did get fired, they would get another job in about 12 minutes. Their culture is such that they want you to tell your manager to fuck off, as long as you can support why and have a better answer.
The culture here in the U.S. is not conducive to having hard working, smart, and ethical employees anymore.

Or gawd forbid he is the idiot manager.
