Parent Driven DevelopmentEpisode 043: Pressure and Considerations Around Leaving a Job for Ethical Reasons.Welcome, Nick Means!Nickolas Means loves nothing more than a story of engineering triumph (except maybe a story of engineering disaster). When he's not stuck in a Wikipedia loop reading about plane crashes, he spends his days as a Senior Engineering Manager at GitHub working on Security and Compliance tooling for our users. He's also a co-host of the Managing Up podcast, a show about leading and managing in the world of technology. He works remotely from Austin, TX, and spends most of his spare time hanging out with his wife and kids, going for runs, or trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.Treating your team as you would want to be treated as a parentSetting examples to your team as a managerEvaluate the job performance on the work actually done, and not clock a few hours taken off for kid responsibilitiesFlexibility and trust in team members and manager Work sometimes becomes an escape from parenting lifeSelf care for parents!
