Not my job
Read OriginalThe author, a senior engineer/EM, recounts a situation where a missing PM caused work stagnation and engineer demotivation. He and a peer voluntarily took on PM responsibilities beyond their job specs to keep the team moving. He argues that senior roles require coping with unpredictability, showing initiative, and filling gaps—saying "it's not my job" is a red flag. The article offers career advice on leadership and problem-solving in tech teams.
