MODERATORS
That's a lot of changes in four months, is it possible that you made people uncomfortable with the pace of change? Were the other workers able to effectively use the changes you implemented?
I was thinking similar. How much of this was communicated, vs just done without asking. Were there considerations like "does company want their code on GitHub?"
I presented a report after my first two weeks on the changes I recommend. They discussed this with the team, the IT guy, and the CEO. The CEO thanked me for caring enough about the organization to put this into writing. I didn't get everything I suggested but we got the important things. My plan was to get the team used to the tools I suggested before going on to other tools. All of their code wasn't on Github because they had secrets hard coded in there so I only put new projects I created on there. I taught them the importance of environment files to keep passwords from git history. I only wanted to improve the place where I worked.
Not sure what might have happened then. Sounds like you took the right approach.
FWIW as a software engineer for 20 years including some time as Principal, this is kind of like, my thing. Identifying areas of improvement, presenting a use case, and implementing based on that. Some people can get really upset if they're not involved in that process. Like, complain to the CEO upset.
If that's not the case here, then it's not. It is a bit of a red flag simply because that amount of change can be very difficult to impart in such a short time. Props for your contributions for sure.
