Wait people like look at your calendar or something? I just have a bunch of untitled meetings whenever I want to block time for myself.

isn't there some option to not let people see content of your calendar, just the blocked off time?

i litearlly chose to work in IT so i could gently caress around in IRC and on forums at work all day. at that time it was all drum and bass poo poo, but now I have played myself and gently caress about in computer nerd forums and slacks :negative:

this whole week is looking like this, with half the office taking all or most of the week off

too bad there’s the occasional update meeting where I have to tell ”type A” project managers that there’s no update because I’m waiting on <insert excuse that makes it not my fault> :shobon:

aren’t those where you horse trade promotions, bonus dollars and who gets let go for “underperforming” with other managers by yelling a lot

i honestly have no idea but that sounds right

we have a hiring freeze and a real bad engineering team so if this is some kind of thunderdome to do layoffs i guess it is reasonable

ironically both of my reports turned in their notice already because it sucks here, so i dont even have any dogs in this hunt

would be pretty choice if i got laid off but i'm also down to keep Alexander G Belling it moonshine style

Getting laid off and getting that severance pay is the way to go. Haven't you been job hunting? How has that been going?

its been going amazing actually, i got an offer for a really cool company that needs my skills and also is doing something that aligns with my values way better than all the adtech jobs i've had before

one of my direct reports leaves mid-august though so i'm hanging on until then just to simplify their situation and make sure they are 'terminated' fairly (can rehire, etc)

I really owe it to my team to finish the project I'm working on but now that I have a new offer in hand I can't make myself give a poo poo. it's actually making me pretty anxious.

anyway today I think I'm going to bake a cake
