It was pretty frustrating and de-moralizing as it felt like they weren't pulling their weight. Among teams there is a social contract, it's not all just between an employee and the company, it also impacts your coworkers.
- codebolt 5y agoAgreed. Really surprised by most of the answers here. On my team, someone like the OP would be found out fast and wouldn't last long.
- viceroyalbean 5y agoMy interpretation is that most of the people replying are giving the OP the benefit of the doubt regarding productivity, considering OP never mentions anything concretely other than having acceptable performance reviews and isn't jumping between workplaces every 6 months. It's hard to know if they mean "I write code and close all my tickets in 10 hours every week" or if they mean "I touch my work computer twice a week and spend the rest of the time on youtube and playing video games". Depending on what you assume the response would therefore be "yikes" in the latter case or "well, not all programming work is typing code" in the former.
