Comments such as “blowing up the sprint” suggest a habit of catastrophizing because an artificial deadline wasn’t met, that’s not going to serve you or your teams well in the long run.

When I hear comments like this from managers it’s generally a sign that I need to start planning an exit strategy.

edit: Also, “my senior developers?” They’re human beings, not your property, dude

Honestly it sounds like a terrible place to work. There’s artificial deadlines with no slack for error, and Junior devs are unable to learn to allow them to be better in the future.

As a manager, the Junior shouldn’t be on the critical path solo. That’s just bad management.
