Today, I'd like to share with you a story that happened to me .

2015 In the year of , Me and my leaders A, And a couple of guys are making one “ Emergency customization ”, This task is the boss of the company CEO A project with a key client , There was a huge sum of money behind it . Our team works overtime , Work till night every day 12 Point , morning 8 It's time to get to the company , There's no rest every week . It's been like this for weeks .

 

Finally, a few days before delivery , Finally, the whole system can be executed , And a lot more bug And problems need to be solved , Let's list all the questions , Solve one by one , It's the same as the state of development , Too busy to eat , There's no time to go to the bathroom .

 

My leader A Is a very characteristic technical manager , He has a straight character , The voice of speaking is also relatively loud . In my opinion now , He belongs to that kind of “ Command type ” The leadership of . He ordered us to be in deadline Solve all the problems before .

 

There is no way , In the end, we will still have bug Of demo Provided to customers , There's no time for , It's just going to be tough to do this . Finally, because of this decision , We're all about to collapse .

 

The customer is constantly asking questions , After a period of execution, the system will be down , We are separated by 1000 Many kilometers , The technicians over there have been using video 、 Keep in touch by phone , Enter the system , View the log , System crash . Then wait to continue to enter the system , View the log , System crash . In this way, we went on a little bit by bit . And the layman's customers have been urging , Even complaining about it , Imagine how much pressure we're all under .

 

It's been a long day , The boss of the company CEO Here we are , Along with his voice came , Get angry on the spot , The whole office was full of his growls ,“ What's the matter ？ Didn't you already run ？ Why do we have this problem ？”,“ When can we solve this problem ？”.

 

I said “1 What Zhou looks like ”.

To feel his mentality at that time should be collapsed . A serious face 、 Say with certainty “ I have to do it tomorrow ！”.

 

I'm very direct about “ impossible , We just implemented the whole system a few days ago , All the problems have been solved , At least 1 Zhou , I also said less ”

 

But he immediately declined “ no way , By the end of tomorrow , The customer can't wait . So , You put in some oil , Try it ”

 

My leader answered immediately “ well , don 't worry , Let's try ~”

 

That's it , And then solve the problem , Fortunately, the next day's work was relatively smooth , Solved this problem , But there are many other problems , We just follow our rhythm , Solve the problem one by one . Finally 1 Weeks later , The system slowly stabilized . Customers don't complain all the time .

 

We all know what happened later , I left my last company . Went to Haikang , I'm out of the sea of misery , They're squeezing my surplus labor , And I don't see the possibility of promotion at all .

 

But their nightmare is far from over , My former leader also left to start a business （ This story has also been told to you , Now his company has net profit last year 1000 More than ten thousand .）, They had to recruit a team of programmers to fill the hole , To deal with the endless problems of customers .

Looking back on the whole thing , What is the problem ？ Who is responsible for it ？

 

Obviously , Everyone has a responsibility . For the boss of the company , He's so strong . Often powerful people , They're going to be different , Some suggestions will be ignored , Of course, some of the truth will be missed by him . My leader should not promise to deliver in such a short time , This impossible task . I should be brave enough to say “ No ”, It's not silence .

 

As a high-level development programmer , You should have your own judgment , Don't give in to your superiors . Dare to speak to your superiors and product managers “ No ”.

 

A lot of people say , Your task is to listen to the orders of your superiors , Why can't you make suggestions , Why dare not question , Used of speaking of “ No ”, And then give your own solution .

 

What kind of person can't say no ？

 

Is it a worker on the production line , Is it migrant workers working on the construction site , Of course, it doesn't mean to belittle them , There is no nobility in work . It's just that in this case , They are ordinary workers , And you're a professional technician . A good programmer should know how to say no .

 

Big factories dare to say “ No ” People who , Always thirsty for talent . Because you are professional , You can say no , To do things well .

 

I hope you can be brave enough to say no , I offer you ！
