Ditto.
At this point I feel that spending my entire day writing emails (even though I'm on engineering) would not only look better but would meet OKRs, while getting zero actual useful work done.
I hate this fad.
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoThis is precisely the cause of my burnout this month, at a huge aerospace company you’ve heard of. I felt like I wasn’t able to motivate myself to do the work, because I was incentivized to do what you described. I ended up doing both, poorly, but honestly I was able to make it a shockingly long time (I’m surprised I was the one to realize and decide to leave, no manager conversation yet).
