SREcon23 Americas

This talk will demystify and clarify for SRE ICs what SRE Managers care about, why they make the decisions and trade-offs they do, and, more importantly, how ICs can work better with SRE Managers to achieve their personal goals. SRE ICs will better understand the pressures and competing priorities that SRE Managers must work within, how to position themselves for career advancement and gain more insight into why specific work and decisions need to be made. They will also understand what bad SRE Management looks like, how to recognize it, and how to avoid repeating it in a future management role.
