New comment by electroagenda in "Ask HN: As a manager, how to deal with a protegé?"

electroagenda — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 21:56:36 +0000

Basically because they manipulated me.

The guy was previously hired as a contractor.

Then, another senior SW engineer left the company and we opened a new position to replace him.

The VP told me that his friend was going to be signed, because there were issues having him as a contractor. (Actually he is quite old and should be retired). But he never mentioned that he was taking the senior SW engineer position.

One day, just by chance, I discovered that the senior position had been cancelled, talking with HR people. And, as you could imagine, I got really angry!

Ask HN: As a manager, how to deal with a protegé?

electroagenda — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 07:19:51 +0000

I work as CTO in a small company. The vicepresident of the company signed a friend of him as a senior SW engineer.

The reality is that he is a nice guy, but technically obsolete, and quite out of context due to his previous experience. Up to the point that I trust way more in other younger engineers.

Honestly, I should report the situation and don't give him senior tasks. But the vicepresident is convinced that this guy is the best SW engineer in the world.

What would you do?
