ah speaking of dial ins, my boss just sent an email out to the whole team asking that everyone attend our project status meeting in person

cuz i assume he's entirely ignorant of the fact that almost everyone who dials in does so cuz they're remote mondays, and a t minus 30 minutes request that they show up is futile.

update, the same normal group is here regardless / on the phone regardless. apparently there's a critical outage with one of our systems keeping everyone else out anyway.

"Ok, any notes?"
"Yeah, so, folks on the phone, everyone that can see this screen... can they see your screen?"
"Yeah, they can... I think they... oh, no I never set up the sharing."

<5 minutes of silence as we get the screen sharing set up>

"Ok, any questions? No? Ok, good meeting."

we have a big deployment into our prod environment this weekend. they've been warning us that we'll need to be available for the weekend for a while so it's no surprise and everyone had been making plans to deal with it. meanwhile my wife's parents are going to be in town, and while i don't need to spend a lot of time with them (thankfully), i still need to be around. since i'm not one of the hands-on people for this session i'd planned to be on email and call in if they really need me.

but they decided to use this morning's scrum call to announce to everyone that they're expected to be in the office for it.

one, lol

two, the people doing actual work are: our prod server guy, and the vendor's tech guys who are in minneapolis and would be remote anyway. anyone else who would be involved would be advisory only, as in, over the phone.

three, someone actually suggested being together for it would be good for 'team building'. last time we were required by my boss in particular to come in on weekends to work on a project, it took two months of wasted weekends, was a massive clusterfuck, and openly destroyed one of the best partnerships between a pair of devs in the office who, six years later, still hate one another.

so, good times, brilliant leadership. i pity the operations guy who will be there alone with two PMs and at least two middle managers.
