Is this a humble brag? What kind of answers are you expecting? What problem are you trying to solve?
- propeller_head 7y agoFair question. Not a humble brag, no. I guess I'm trying to understand what the modern IT office looks like. I have close to 20 years of experience and used to do things a certain way and accountability - of my own tasks and keeping my boss accountable as well - is high on my list of values. When I changed jobs I'm now confronted with a new environment where people do things differently, which is totally fair. But I don't believe working on top of other people's tasks without talking to them first is a good practice. To be honest I think it's quite rude. That's what prompted me to ask this question. What are people doing? Do you use PR's? Do you commit on other peoples PR's? Do you talk to people? Is everything nowadays that Slack is the norm and talking is overrated?
- kleer001 7y agoFair enough. I too find culture change jarring. Also, I understand your original intention now. Hopefully you understand now why you didn't get any traction. If you haven't done it already done it, I bet a reworded (and shorter) version of your question will get a better response. Just leave out anything personal, anything that could seem like you're patting yourself on the back. Right?
