Describe a time when you felt you were being treated unfairly at work. What was the situation and how did you respond?

Situation:

• When my team had a new manager, the manager did know anything about the team they were manging.
• The team was disarray and they was poor planning on the leadership
• I expected some sort of transition to the new manager

Task:

• My goal was to get back the team on a regular cadance
• I decided to be a defactor leader

Action:

• I distributed work among the team
• I also worked with the new project manager to add stories to the Jira board
• I answered all the questions when the product owner had questions
• I was the "senior member that knew what was happening"

Result:

• I did all of these because I felt that someone had to step up
• I knew other team leader were recognized for their effort, but I was merely running everything in the backgound as the defactor team lead
• As a result, my team got back on track
• Our montly security compliance were on the good
• We met our deadlines with our product owners

Lesson:

• I did not complain eventhough I was not recognized as the team lead
• I just worked harder and maintained what I was doing
• Eventually I got recognized but for a long time, I did it because I felt that it was the right thing to do
