> This is due to poor management. Strong management makes employees feel secure and not-surveillanced. Maybe that’s true, but having trustworthy async workloads is dependent on having really good planning methodology (eg sizing tickets fairly accurately with 2 week sprint planning) In my experience this is very difficult. The moment you start working on a more novel feature/project, ticket sizing gets wacky. When ticket sizing is wacky, you get the dreaded gray area: we planned this thing to take 3 days. It took me 1 day because the team didn’t understand how small the ticket was during ticket grooming. Do I take days off or create new work for myself? Am I responsible for post hoc fixing planning failures? If so, am I not just emulating the “spend 40 hours working” mindset via points? If not, am I not taking advantage of the teams planning mistake?
