One of my teams just came through a tough period of getting a piece of work through an initial round of testing so it can be merged and hidden behind a feature flag. It was hard in them and I’m proud of them for solving the problems.
Some of them worked long hours and weekends and we have to deal with that. Spoke to some of them today and told my newest team member that I will never expect her to be responsive at all hours. That if I need her to work long hours I’ll actually specifically ask for it and set boundaries and work out time in lieu.
She told me it’s the first time a manager has ever said that to her.
What is wrong with people?
