My understanding was:
* engineers have to apply and have their idea approved
* performance reviews are based on primary tasks, and 20% is not included
so if doing a 20% project reduces production elsewhere (and how could it not unless you work 20% more?), it would seem to be a negative
- eru 12y agoThere's a pre-approved list that most people's projects fall under. It includes open source work, tinkering, prototype, learning (eg new programming language), teaching, etc. You only need to apply, if you have something special outside of those areas. You should inform your manager. But that's just common sense. Your 20% efforts explicitly go into your performance evaluation, so it won't be a negative. I see it as an opportunity to learn and work with (and from) people, I don't normally deal with.
