I don't think any of it had to do with people having "nothing better to do on their own projects".
I don't know about you, but if my new boss, the one that threatened to fire 3/4ths of the staff, told me to do something, it doesn't matter what I was working on before, my sole new project would be what the boss wanted.
- MikePlacid 4y agoTrue. But the article does not mention that it was the boss who told the author to pitch in: >Some of us had worked through the weekend trying to help out a colleague who’d been given an insanely tight deadline Note: the deadline was given to "a colleague", not to "our team". Same here: >My colleague, whom I liked a lot, was never going to get it done in time without help, so we all pitched in. Also note that he seems to never have worked on such a schedule before: >I actually quite enjoyed it.
