I wish I could pretend to do work today but instead I am swamped with poo poo I should have done last week but I didn't and now it has blown up in my face. I feel like there is a life lesson there but probably not.

it’s such hot garbage. the people who are running it are too far from the work to do anything but speak in vague generalities.

so was ours, it was just an opportunity for upper management to go around to every team and make sure they were all working on their pet projects instead of doing any real work of value

Whenever I’ve switched jobs I’ve been surprised to learn that, actually, it was possible for me to give less of a gently caress about any of this.

I have new people joining the team to help with my role. On the one hand I can stop using the royal “we” and when I refer to “the team” it might be more than a euphemism, but on the other hand reducing my workload means passing work to them, which they first have to be trained on.

This could get tricky. I might have a potential short term net influx of real work — you all know how I feel about this. Any tips?

for your proteges concentrate on the ones clever and eager to please.
