Fellatio del Toro posted:while i do think that its generally good for human beings to feel like they are being productive and accomplishing things, it may also be a good idea to disentangle your personal happiness and sense of self worth from your job at least to the degree that you aren't minmaxing productivity to a five minute granularity and allowing a meeting to imprint lasting emotional damage onto walls and furniture This is easier for some people than it is for others. Sort of the same way that some people are better at WFH or WFO than others!

prom candy posted:i feel like if my default way of existing is "you can expect a fairly quick response from me on slack unless my status says otherwise" then it will encourage people to slack me when they need a fairly quick response. if my default way of existing is "you can never know when to expect a fairly quick response from me on slack" it will encourage people to call me, which i very much want to avoid Your main issue here is having a phone number available to your coworkers, or even having a phone available. In this, I cannot help you.

But if they are not there to answer the message, who is there to receive the call?

ChickenWing posted:The probably of this being your place of work hits an inflection point the moment you hire a project/product manager and increases exponentially with every new hire from there. Each addition to the PMO increases the exponent Possibly, but good PMs/PgMs will act as bullshit umbrellas in the same way that good managers do.

CPColin posted:I got a "we just went through them while onboarding (Coworker), so they should be pretty up-to-date" in regard to some setup docs. Then I tried to follow them and they were poo poo. Then I didn't fix them Having a new person write down all the places they got stuck and where the docs deviated from what they got told to actually do has been a pretty good way to audit onboarding instructions.

Lyesh posted:We just migrated our tiny server instance to atlassian's cloud, and it's very funny/sad to me how "cloud" is probably going to become a swear-word in healthcare pretty soon. All the HIPAA stuff is on, so we aren't dealing with the AI crawler thank god. But at some point I fully expect someone in the US federal government to see how fast and loose cloud providers play with server locations and the like. There's an absolute treasure trove of HIPAA data stored overseas and both parties love nothing if not trumped-up xenophobic nonsense. Encryption helps, but with the level of intrusiveness some of the services from the last decade have, your org is putting itself at the mercy of Amazon's willingness to do anything to save a nickel for your physical server security. Hey, remember when every federal employee's PII was stolen and the response was... I'm not optimistic until someone very important ends up very embarrassed.
