| Dec 23, 2013 at 20:18 | comment | added | HLGEM | Exhaustion is one reason why you can't meet deadlines. I would not accept this promotion without the entire team going to 40 hour work weeks (being in a start-up is no excuse for working people more than 40 hours on a regular basis, it is stupid and short-sighted and causes bugs and cost overruns and missed deadlines.). alternet.org/story/154518/… | |

| Mar 25, 2013 at 15:10 | comment | added | huntmaster | The question presupposes that you must accept this promotion. You do not. It may cost you hassle, or even this particular job, but from what it sounds like, that would be a blessing in the long run from a professional perspective. Never forget you have power and deserve respect. | |

| Mar 24, 2013 at 13:50 | comment | added | Vinay | Yes I agree with you @DJClayworth I didn't just say my juniors about deadline and left them. I completed their tasks too. I really don't know why they are promoting me. But I know that there are really a big risks ahead. | |

| Mar 23, 2013 at 19:09 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Telling juniors clearly when the deadline is does not help them achieve it. How have you tried actually helping them to achieve this? The other questions you haven't answered is whether the company considers the performance of your team acceptable or not? It sounds like they shouldn't, but if it isn't then why are they promoting you? | |

| Mar 23, 2013 at 17:13 | comment | added | Vinay | @JanDoggen I'm really worried about the person who takes care of delivery of projects or products. But not really hesitation. Please help me big brother...... | |
| Mar 23, 2013 at 17:02 | comment | added | Vinay | @JanDoggen FYI I don't really have those things like hesitations. I have seen a mess I don't want to have those. Either, I need a solution to clear problems or quit the offered position. If I had that hesitation then I would have changed company rather than asking a question here. | |
| Mar 23, 2013 at 16:48 | comment | added | user8036 | I would tell your hesitations to the person(s) offering you that promotion: given the way things worked in the past (as you see it) you do not want to be in that place. | |
| Mar 23, 2013 at 16:46 | comment | added | Vinay | @Oded How should I take an opportunity in that situation sir? I'm totally lost..... | |
| Mar 23, 2013 at 16:46 | comment | added | Vinay |
@Oded I'm really ready to take opportunities. you expect things to take less time than they do take. Not me! Its company and I work in that company. They take 250 hours(half at least) for 500 hours job. Its difficult for me. Still I work more and more hours to complete it. As you might know things are divided for 250 hours along with my juniors. What if they take 400 hours? thats where my concern is. As a lead I should be responsible for all the things that happen. I don't want to take the risk(getting harassed! getting a bad feedback!! because of someone's problem) I don't want those.

| Mar 23, 2013 at 16:29 | comment | added | Oded | Perhaps take this as an opportunity to fix the problems? In some ways, it sounds like you have an estimation issue - you expect things to take less time than they do take and you need to adjust the estimates to account for how long juniors actually take. | |
