If you work for me and ask me for a raise you will get some feedback but I will also start looking for a replacement. First off if the raise is approved you might not handle the added workload and will want to leave or if its not approved and you start looking for another job. In any case your replacement contingency plan will be set in motion and unless you are awesome at your job you will probably end up getting canned because of the added attention and because you are obviously not too happy with your job.
Who ever is on top of your boss does not know what you are doing. So if your boos is screwing up it means you are screwing up. Better get a clear picture by talking with your boss because when they start cleaning house the last one in the chain of command is who gets canned/replaced.
The hard thing is to actually get from your boss why he is not communicating with you. All these answer of just quit and get another job seems like the easy way out. What if you like your job? But If you actually sit down with your boss and get a full picture of the situation you might be able to get a better idea what's going on and find a solution. Could be a million things, maybe he/she is too busy, stressed with his own problems, fed up and trying to get another job, partner left them, lost a loved one. Who knows, only way is to sit down, talk with them and try to get a straight answer or figure it out by reading their reactions/moods.
From my experience, remember you work with these people never make the mistake of thinking they are your friends. Because you might end up in a situation where they start abusing that "friend" relationship. But you also don't want to seem like a dick since you have to see them at least 40 hours a week and its better to get along and have a good working relationship and environment.
The reason scrum works is that your planning is for 1 or 2 weeks sprint so errors in planning get fixed right away. Waterfall planning on the other hand is for big projects and once a mistake is made its a huge problem to fix, even if you are working using iterations. Another thing its almost imposible to sell scrum to clients because they do not have a total o range of total cost before hand.
You should never give an estimate with a closed answer, makes people fixate in that it will be done on date X. What you need to use is a range and depending on what information you have on the project use Rough Order of Magnitude Estimate (Variance of -50% to +50%, or -25% to +75% depending on preference), Budget Estimate (Variance of -10% to +25%) or Definitive Estimate (Variance of -5% to +10%). The only time you will know when a project will be done is the date your client signs off for it.
Hello, I live in Spain and I can confirm that we are not poor. Please don't forget to visit and spend your ignorantely earned funds. Thanks! P.S. Spain is in Europe not America (the continent not the country).
Yes all the development jobs I have had in the past 5 years have been within VMWare VMs. Not just for uptime benefits, but also because I work different environments and OSs.
I see, the rest of us rather worry about having a 100% working setup than a performance hit.
What's easier to backup and restore? Hint a virtual machine image.
I'm sure this stuff is fun/funny for many whey they are not at the other end. I my self have had to work a for gay (still in the closet) boss who sexually harassed me. Let me tell you its not fun or funny. Worst part is that no one believes you.
Hello from Spain,
news over here is that our previous king was outed for having a bunch of affairs. No one thinks about the kids!?!?!?!?
A yes there was something about Hitler resurrected which I didn't catch.

Asking for a raise can easily get you canned and replaced.

There are still people developing outside of a VM???? I feel like Marty McFly.

Apple has transformed from a market leader to a follower or as Steve just to say toner heads. I think this is why so many people are disappointed.
How am I liable for a mistake made by a service provider? Only legal route is to seek compensation from the provider.
That's how business works today. Cheaper, faster, and external. If you don't like it you are welcome to play the startup game.
If you ever get to management and you have to answer for errors of your subordinates your opinion will change.
1. Come up with a sellable idea, 2. Sell it to VC 3. Attract big company 4. Profit If that is your plan then I would say fundraising IS a milestone.
I definitely grab some whenever I can.
Thank god! Scared this shit out of me...
I believe "God" is keyword for the CIA.
