Dev team PM: We need you to knock off all these tickets this sprint.
Me: OK I think i can manage.

Dev team PM: Also we need you to spend the majority of your day in these drawn out meetings.
Me: How tf do I then work on my tickets?

PM: no idea. Did you finish your tickets yet?

@shrestha Yes coding happens on the weekend or evenings, essentially creating a 6 or 7 day workweek (because I'm supervisory, the individual contributors on my team actually do have time to code)

@mistersql I swear to god some of the PMs and mgmt on our team have ZERO idea of how things ship and build and try to apply a product-based mindset to get things out the door.

I honestly don’t mind working off hours now and then as long as I don’t have to deal with unrealistic expectations of delivery.

Like dude asks me to make a list of changes 4:45p and at 9:30a the next day has the gall to ask “so how’s the status of that ticket I assigned to you yesterday”

Sorry for the rant.
