That manager advice sound horrible. That is the point of a manager. If you can't trust them with something as basic and important as team interactions, then there is a bigger problem.
What can a manager possibly do in this situation? "Hey, Boss. Everyone on me team is an asshole. Can you fix that?"
If it was one person on the team causing problems, it could make sense to talk with the manager. If the entire team is toxic (or a bad fit for OP), there is little to nothing the manager can do except maybe help OP move to a different team.
Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying it's a bad idea to talk to the manager, unless the manager is one of the toxic team members. But I'm not sure it's very useful, either.
Maybe manager says "So it's not just me thinking that", or "I've noticed guys can be pretty hard on you at times. Since you haven't brought it up, I thought you're ok with it"...
I can think of million other things that might or might not happen.
And I know only one way to really find out - try and see. Are there other ways?
Suppose the manager has those reactions. What then? They'll sit down with the team and have the "don't be mean" talk? I'm just not sure I see that working well. That seems more likely to breed resentment even if it resolves the superficial "combative" behavior.
I'd probably try talking to the individual team members 1:1. As uncomfortable as that would be, I think it is a better bet than having it come from the manager.
Good point. If I am as mature an adult as I believe myself to be, I ought to be able to have a peaceful conversation about this with a couple of coworkers individually. Definitely would be better than putting them on the defensive by sending a manager after them.
This is great for NHL viewers, but even better for GoPro - good to keep getting their name out there as the go to for amazing action footage wherever you are.
They use statuspage.io, a great service, but most people use to manually set the times that the service was out - but I believe they have an API for that as well.
So I think MailGun just didn't indicate the service was unavailable when they put the outage details in.
I haven't played with segment before, does anyone else have any experience with it? However, I am a huge believer in using one library/system to track events and use one system to ingest them.
One quick note, I've found that it's helpful to build a simple wrapper in my own system for the call to the external library - this means that I have just one place to go if I change who I use to send events to.
I do think this oversimplifies lead scoring a bit, that's an area for a whole blog post to or two - and this seems like a good starting point. This is just to say that being too quick to settle on a lead scoring method can cause a lot of incorrect assumptions later.
I've thought about doing something like this for a while, but on a more dynamic level. More along the lines of capturing check-ins from Facebook and Foursquare as well as other life events and making them available (with permission) via an API.
Someone brought up to me that it would be pretty much like Google Now - which isn't completely correct, but it gets to what the value could be.
Well done guys! Having played with it early on, I can see that you've done a lot to make it even easier to use. I love the custom metrics too, we'll be looking at how we can incorporate some of our info into our page soon.
I disagree, it's about core competency. I have the resources to build and host a number of things. But I pay for quite a bit of software. Things like bug tracking, ticketing, billing, etc. - all because I want to focus on what I do best and let some one else handle the details of this stuff.
This kind of comment is a gross simplification of a market, and just shows that you haven't really thought about it much at all.
