I get it, that manager of yours has lots of meetings to go to or hold himself. Being in the same spot (tho "IT Manager" is not my title and I hope it never will be lol) I do understand how it gets to be this way. I have weeks where I only get to code 0 hours. Others I code for maybe a day total across the whole week or maybe 2. It comes and goes. When we on boarded 3 new guys on the team in the same weeks for example I got to not code at all for a few weeks as I'd rather unblock each of them, answer their questions etc. That's OK by me. I was able to do that because I do code myself still, I know our systems etc. and the regular 1:1s we gotta do (which are important as well) are mixed in with this as well and become actual "meetings" in WFH situations instead of "accidentally bumping into them at the coffee machine". Now as for IC developers only coding a single hour in a week, there's something very wrong indeed if you ask me. I'm thinking "The Office" here. If you don't mind my asking what kinds of meetings did they invent for ICs to attend for 39 hours a week?
