Have you tried telling management that them asking for updates is slowing the work down? You can't expect them to read your mind.

- lovich 8y agoThe people calling the meetings don't have any of their goals tied to engineering productivity and the issue isn't big enough in managements view to come in and deal with it. The issue has been brought before and ignored. It's one of the perils of being in a cost center
- mitchty 8y agoI find it easier to just block off 4 hour chunks of my day as a way to convey: I'm only working during these times no meetings. In manager land a block of free time is fair game, so play by those rules and make your own meeting with work. When any manager asks why you just tell them and explain. Seems to work fine.
- gobrarian 8y agoI have. I actually provided hard data on how daily status updates were impacting the project schedule. They didn't care. Didn't stay there long.
