Long time manager here as well.
I am fully aware of the amount of work developers do and never expect more than 50% of their time to be spent in full focus. But this amounts to around 20h per week.
The kind of behavior you describe amounts to me as medium-low performance, but as some other people mentions; there are other types of behaviors that are much more problematic because they disrupt the proper functioning of teams.
If you have low performance, but are not problematic and have other qualities that are positive; you won't be last in the list when thinking about salary raises nor first in the list when redundancies are needed. The other more problematic types will be instead.
- workthrow320948 5y agoLong time manager, and I agree with all of this, but I also identify with OP and also get only a handful of hours of work done every week and I've wondered the same thing. I get high marks (high to superlative performance) consistently, but it's usually because when I deliver, it's with high quality outputs and effective delegation. Otherwise I don't really do much but wonder whether I'm really under performing if all my reviews are as strong as they are, or if I just do the work more quickly than most others. edit: I'm fine with this comment being dead, honest. less people see it and less risk of me being identified on my main. don't vouch. I'm using tor so that's why
