It doesn't to me, so this might be a disagreement about the meaning of forced. Nobody is surprised that the default mode is fulltime pairing, we make a point of having candidates experience it beforehand.
And as I noted above, pairing isn't mandated. Teams are free to adopt any process they please, but most folks at Pivotal like the defaults and we tend to gravitate to them.
- nfrbc 7y agoI've been in such a team. Pairing was optional, but the team chose to do it, so everyone on the team had to do it. It wasn't "forced" because I "always had the option to quit the job". It was hell.
- jacques_chester 7y agoI'm sorry that your experience was hell. My experience has been different. That doesn't detract from yours.
- nfrbc 7y agoIt's alright. I had great experiences with pairing when it wasn't forced on me and I had autonomy.
