And reporting up to someone whose sole responsibility in the interaction is to detect stuckness or the hint of stuckness or to offer referrals to someone who might make you go faster is tiring as hell. It's quite transparent and grating. I recognize that often there is a good outcome and it helps. People can spin on issues poorly. (And I definitely am a person who from outside appearances sometimes resembles that, although usually it's me becoming the only expert we have in the domain & seeing how systems really work, not just closing the ticket asap.) I wish we had async/offline systems to follow each others course & suggest some steering rather than being beholden to daily cross examinations where managers get to decide to redirect us off the path we've chosen.
