I think the actual absurdity going on is that we are keeping pre-COVID expectations during a pandemic(crisis). I’ve used this time to really reevaluate the things my area is responsible for and trim the fat. We all know people have things that will come up, so we all need to be more Agile. Been pushing Kanban hard in my area now because we offer so much work flexibility. So I’ve been prioritizing work and making sure it’s there for the team to take on. If only one person usually does certain tasks, make sure they train others. And I’m there to protect them if upper management takes issue with their output. I feel like I’ve been cold hearted or just methodical but it’s only in regards to the work not the people. Work is just that, work. It isn’t life, come to work get your work done and if life gets in the way, fine let me know. I mean what the hell is the point of a team if one person (or many) have less availability and it all falls apart? Get the highest priority work done first and maybe that lower stuff isn’t actually that important.
