I wonder if a thoughtful manager can work with that... somehow structure your workplace to not trigger the ugh-obligation phenomenon. (Or at least creep back up to 1X-5X.)
- TeMPOraL 12y agoMaybe. I'd love to think that. I'm bit afraid to share that directly with my boss (though I hinted it at times). Both for obvious reasons, and because I don't feel I have quite figured out what's going on with my productivity.
- calibraxis 12y agoYeah, I hate other managers. :( A sensible manager should frankly find it interesting, not to mention an opportunity to help improve the team. But no, we can't have nice things, we must waste people's potentials...
- TeMPOraL 12y agoNo, my manager is awesome, though non-technical, so it's hard to explain some things (and yes, right now I'm the only strictly dev person in the company). He's a very reasonable person, and the recent ability to do a project totally my way was a way of accommodating my needs. I'm hoping we'll be able to build on that. BTW. call me lucky, but throughout all my jobs, I never had a bad boss/manager. While their technical skills varied, they were all very honest, thoughtful and nice people.
