The way things are prioritized:

Emergency
Critical
ASAP
Do first
Top priority
Urgent
Urgent ASAP
Major urgent

Fuck sakes.. 😣

What about the top most urgent emergency when you don't get anything? You know, that stressful silence when you dare to think that everything is okay, only to realise that the end is near!

For fucks sake delete this list before a manager finds it and uses it as new template

@Jilano oh it's in there somewhere

@ShotgunSurgeon we get those from our "product owner"

@segfault0xff Well that's a problem. But sadly more often reality than not.
I think many problems arise because tools like jira allow to set priorities, rather than using the order of stories. If there was no flag every PO would have to sort stories instead of reading them and just setting them on highest.

@ShotgunSurgeon oh I know it's a problem, hence the rant. I've suggested how to fix it, but does anybody listen? Hell no.

@segfault0xff People only listen if they can find the benefit for themselves. There a really good talk from J. B. Rainsberger (jbrains) on this topic.

This reminded me my workday on command center.

Wait! In which order!?

@soulevans07 yes!

What about "The prod fucking is down and on fucking fire, git is rekt as well, so is mf inaccesible, coffee machine broke, god help me, i regret my whole life, we are losing milions, you better fix it soon or you are fired"
type of emergencies??

@Gregozor2121 well, it's not an exhaustive list by any means lol
