i work in a computer refurbishment company and we basically dont have all the tools for the job. One thing we need to do is open up laptops to repair them and theres either not enough tools to go around for the team, or the ones that are around are so badly worn that those tools themselves wear out the screws so we cant even open them up. We have asked so many times to get equipment but our boss never ends up getting any of the equipment. instead, people have resorted to buying their own equipment for the job like screwdrivers and ssds for auditing. I could go on about other things but the main thing is that our boss basically doesnt listen to our team

@@Imab1234 unfortunately buying your own tools is covering up for them. I understand the frustration to be sure. Until jobs start going out late and they connect the dots between the inefficiencies and a lack of tools, it will probably keep happening. People don’t tend to change until they feel pain. Of course your boss can still choose to blame you anyway and fire you, so it’s a risk. But if that happens they will eventually lose all their employees and it will hurt their business.

A key takeaway from Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss includes: Accusation Audit: Address objections before they come up. For example, "You might think I'm asking for too much here, but..." This reduces resistance by acknowledging concerns upfront. Calibrated Questions: Instead of making demands, ask open-ended questions like, "How can we improve this?" or "What would make you comfortable with this decision?" This shifts the focus to problem-solving rather than confrontation.

How these individuals persuade them that this is the right thing? And don't they feel that this is dangerous and can compromise the project?

First, have grace for yourself. Modern software development introduces a lot of "peripheral" knowledge with all of these tools and configuration settings that it's really hard to ever "master". Running into this doesn't mean you're doing a bad job. Second, I would simply start accounting for uncertainty when you estimate. Even if it's not a formal estimate for a manager, when you are thinking about starting a task or feature, add some extra time knowing you are going to run into stuff you can't predict. You'll get more accurate the more you do this. Hope that helps a little!

Hi, Jayme! I really enjoyed your video! I generally have no issues finding the right words to communicate with different people, whether it's managers, developers, QA, or other stakeholders. However, I've consistently struggled when it comes to Product (UX) Designers. In my 13-year career as a full-stack developer and team leader, I've noticed that about 90% of product designers don't want to listen to software developers at all. They often resist even minor changes that could significantly reduce development time, no matter how much I emphasize that I'm just genuinely willing to help. It feels like they see me as overstepping rather than collaborating. Do you have any advice on how to approach conversations with product designers or ways to influence them effectively? Thank you in advance!
@HealthyDev7 күн бұрын
Much like experienced developers can get defensive about people giving input on how they should code when they aren't in it every day, designers can get the same with their designs. I would recommend the same thing I do for any relationship first, get to know them better. Ask them questions about their philosophy of design, with general interest. Once they know you are respectful of their work, if you have a suggestion phrase it in a question. Be prepared to be shot down a couple times. This can work well. However, if it's an especially defensive person, who is emotionally attached to their work, you'll probably need to figure out better what they're motivated by. How can you phrase your suggestions to their design in a way that aligns with principles they've already said they agree with? I've found that telling a designer changing their design will save time never goes over well. They don't care about saving developers time - they care about having a great product user experience. Not sure if any of that helps, but those are just a couple quick thoughts.

If the manager doesn't understand the risks when clearly explained to them, maybe they should not be there in the first place.

If the manager doesn't want to hear that, that's not the engineers' problem.
