When working hospital shifts, I routinely took naps whenever possible. I personally wouldn’t hire an engineer with your sense of entitlement, because you would be very difficult to manage and probably wouldn’t produce the same results as your other team-player colleagues.
- Ekaros 4y agoI didn't say I wouldn't do it. I'm just saying that I expect to be paid for your failures on most likely planning. As if you had done your job properly I would not be expected to work so much that I don't have time to commute to home to sleep.
- tpxl 4y agoThe fucking entitlement to call someone not a team-player for going home to sleep.
- unmole 4y agoAnd I wouldn't want to work for someone who thinks not wanting to sleep in the office was an entitlement.
- afavour 4y agoIf you find it difficult to manage a software engineer because they want to go home and sleep in their own bed at night then you're an absolutely failed manager. I'm sorry.
- avgDev 4y agoI wouldn't want to work with/for people who have so little respect for their own time anyway.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoHospitals work extra long shifts because every time there is a shift change there is, statistically speaking, a chance for errors. Those errors in hand-offs kill people, and they found that 12 hour shifts and fewer hand-offs save peoples lives. The rest of the hospital just kinda follows that mantra. And that makes sense -- everyone works that way in the hospital and no one dies. That ain't how software dev works, and no one is going to die or go into insulin shock because Twitter didn't push a UI update to Prod on schedule.
