I can only speak for myself and my org of 300 or so, but it’s surprising how few people are actually interested in a 20% project. I’m sure there are factors at play here:
* we have a lot of work to do, the poster in this thread who is bored and only has 5 hours of real work a week is definitely not in my BU
* they may be concerned how such a project will reflect on them in perf. it may seem better to go all in on one thing vs splitting your attention
* we’re relatively new (acquisition) so perhaps the 20% ethos hasn’t percolated over to us yet
But at any rate, I think I’ve gotten exactly 2 requests for 20% projects, which I approved after confirming the person wasn’t going to be doing the dreaded 120% project.
