Playing the devil's advocate: How would the older guys know that their work didn't matter?
My personal experience: 2001 I got assigned to an internal project to keep me busy. When planning and getting feedback from the internal stakeholders I realized that they weren't interested in the project. I slacked off, because there was nothing else to do. I got laid off six months later.
- gedy 4y agoI guess I was referring to more optional type work like inventing their own frameworks and abstractions, refactors for code style, major rework of some in-house blob of code that could easily be done with an off the shelf library, etc.
