No offense but that is incredibly frustrating for employees. It really sucks being in a team that is continually chasing fires with no time to do something strategic -and the a manager will bring some highly paid freelancer who works 9-5 without stress telling you how it should be done. What I'd like is the managers to bring in people to do the shitty work while employees get some downtime to improve things for a change.
- lolsal 9y agoDoing the shitty work is hard and unpredictable. I wouldn't be very likely to want to hire per-hour contractors to fix bugs.
- jaggederest 9y agoAgreed, that's usually why I start a gig - they've hit a wall on technical scaling and need someone to help them dig out of it, so I can take over the firefights and provide the guidance on how to go about it, mentorship on whether a particular path is worth trying, that kind of thing.
