If I hire a new engineer, part of my job managing them is to communicate to them that I expect them to release a new feature/bug fix to production by the end of their three month probation, and that release must go smoothly.
If they clearly fck up their first release on the last day of probation and I say 'hey, great job, you're doing awesome' and then fire them a month later... that's poor management. that's on me.
This is sales, working half an year in a company and not closing a sale, while actually even being 100% convinced of being a good performer is crazy to me.
Sales is not engineering. Its a different culture. It has some positives and some negatives. You can become filthy rich and it's a relative meritocracy. However if you don't sell you will be let go pretty quick.
Sales is one of those fields where you can pretty directly measure someone's performance relative to others. Sure there's some noise and luck, but it's not their job to hold your hand as much as hiring a junior eng
errrr.... yes. she does. several times.
