I work at a company with 10% time, and TBH most people don't do much with it, if at all. A few do and really seem to appreciate it. We get more innovation and ideas from hack days.
- MattGaiser 6y agoThe problem is that it is very hard to get something big from little splotches of time, or at least I find it hard, so I focus on little wins. My company informally allows for spending time like this, but if it works out to an hour or two a day in between meetings and Slack requests, I can't really do much with that.
- Tempest1981 6y agoDoes the 20% need to be distributed evenly, time-wise? Or could you combine it into a 5-10 week clump between projects?
- gedy 6y agoMine is one day every other week
- aitchnyu 6y agoI write very little shippable code in first day of a 3 day task. Also my itch for unfinished work is very unhealthy. Does 20% favour guys who compartmentalize unfinished business to a fixed day every week and ramp up quickly?
