Sort of backwards, but when I request access to something my team is supposed to be working on, it takes roughly enough time for them to get the work done if they are blasting through it. Like, I don’t care, I’m only going to check before the project deadline comes up, but don’t burn yourself out for me. This scales inversely with age.
So it takes them longer to report on it than it does for them to do it the older they get? I’m not sure I understand. Maybe you need to explain it with crayons for my old man brain.
Yeah, that was unclear. The more late career people will just give me access immediately no matter where they are. Early career people will bust their ass getting more progress in before giving me access. Which, again, I don’t care when they do it until I have to shield them from upper management.
That’s bcz i don’t care. I get my work done. If I wasn’t getting it done, I wouldn’t be there. At least that’s my rational.
After covid, I kind of just stopped caring as much. I do my job, I get stuff done. But, I don’t go above and beyond anymore. They think I do, and that’s good enough for me.
Learned this the hard way. Open the links ASAP and request access immediately; you can then ignore the project safely for the next quarter.
You’re welcome.
Fuckin’ Tony Hawk right here.
More like Phony Schlock. I’m just faking it until I can retire at this point.

That just sounds like unprepared people not giving you something that doesn’t exist.
