I just got yelled at for being proactive at work and working on stuff in my downtime to complete something before our estimate and improve our product. Apparently that’s a big no-no. You’re not supposed to ever finish before the estimate you give nor finish past the estimate. You must work the exact amount of time that was estimated. This wasn’t even my estimate. I have a much faster estimate and my boss basically doubled it, which I was like fine, sure, but I’m getting blamed for the estimate being so long now.
I’m so done with my job. If the job market weren’t a literal dumpster fire right now I’d just leave. I just set my LinkedIn to “Open to Work”. Sorry I have a good work ethic. Corporate politics is utter bullshit. I guess the lesson learned is don’t ever tell anyone you are being proactive. Finish the work, and then literally do fuck all, and fuck off to wherever while you pretend you are working until the estimate date is reached.
I left Reddit during the API fiasco. Tried Lemmy, ran into problem after problem. Went back to Reddit for 3 months, and go deep into the enshittification process. Signed up here today. Hoping I can settle in here!
Same boat! Hope it works out!
I took a week off to work on a game I’m making. Made some progress over past few days.
Ooh, what kind of game? Video? Tabletop?
It’s a small videogame I’ve been doing in my spare time. There’s no story or goal at the moment. I recorded a GIF a while back:
I thought this was a giant beaver at first, I’m not at all disappointed this isn’t the case.
Seriously though, looks cool! I always love games where you can interact with the environment like that.
Godbeav’a
Thanks!
