a lot of my colleagues have described similar experience, with the introduction of jira. despite our group being independent and working well, jira introduced stress and toxic workplace even between co-workers who would snitch on each other. i got called out for a single warning where i didn’t reply to an IM within 5 minutes and literally got fired over it. the manager they brought on was completely unqualified scaredy cat n95 freak. not technical nor a people person, targeted me and others for no reason, other coworkers have described similar encounters across the company. it was meant to cut some of the extras since the two companies merged. absolutely despised the treatment.
