I feel lucky to have avoided this so far. It’s really not like this on my team. I write a fair bit of code and review a ton of code.

And the free slots aren’t for coding but for writing docs, creating jira tickets and code review.

i intentionally do middling-at-best work on projects that i don’t like so that i’m never asked to perform them again nor join meetings about it; and i think my mostly empty calendar reflects the effectiveness of my strategy.

• Try to break your own fingers to get off work, fail
• Try to break your own neck, fail
• Shit your pants
• Open Outlook

You guys get formal meetings?
