I don't mind people not working. I get upset when those people half-ass their work and then attempt to get me to do their work for them. For example, I would rather build a feature than spending the same (or more) time fixing someone else's pull request.
- orwin 3y agoI completely agree. I was a very low performer at my previous job. I was bored, didn't like the mission, my team got shipped away due to office politics, and small incidents with management wore me down after the first year. I mostly did nothing the last few months, but everything I did was correct. Not that it was perfect, there is always stuff to be improved, but the little I did was good enough, filled the requirements and was documented both outside (what it does, for the lead engineer and management) and inside the code (how it works, for the poor soul who would inherit the mission). Maybe it's a tale I tell myself, but I like to think I wasn't a net negative overall.
