Yeah, it really does. Not only is this sort of behavior miserably unprofessional it corrodes morale around the office when everyone who isn't a developer catches wind that the prima donnas in IT are sitting around playing video games and watching movies while everyone else is busting their ass.
- gexla 16y agoPersonally, I can't concentrate on doing development for eight straight hours. My focus doesn't fit in a neat box like that. Some days I'm burnt at four hours (but I might have had superhuman output during that time) and other days I can do marathons of crazy focus for longer than eight hours.
- gargs 16y agoWell, then, I would blame the non-ITs (managers) for a bad organizational model where they don't have enough work for their IT department. I have a sense that this might hold true for more non-development IT roles as it is very rare for actual developers to sit around watch movies doing nothing unless they're truly in need of a break. Engineers love to code...or the good ones do.
