Title
The Curious Case of Vanishing Engineers, Office Drama, and Performance Puzzles

Description
Ever had a teammate who mysteriously disappears for hours, clashes with colleagues, or delivers work that makes you question reality? As an engineering manager, navigating underperformance and workplace chaos can feel like solving a detective case—except the clues are vague, and the suspect keeps blaming the system.

In this interactive session, we’ll crack the code on tricky performance issues, uncover strategies ranging from constructive feedback to more, let’s say, ‘tactical’ interventions, and debate whether there’s really a good way to say, “We need to talk.”

Join us for real-world scenarios, audience-driven problem-solving, and a few laughs along the way—because if we don’t laugh, we might cry.
