@AlmondSauce He’s all bark and no bite. I won’t be disciplined for not working during vacation. He’ll just make a bunch of noise about tHe ScHeDuLe and that’ll be the end of it. My skills aren’t quite there yet to get a really good gig and in this case I can manage the manager just fine. It’s just entertaining how commonplace this insanity is.

@boombodies also, if he's working during his vacation that's his own personal problem. You do not have to conform to his standards which are not mandated by workplace anyway.

@iiii yeah working on your vacation is how you become a manager and that is the last thing I’d ever want. I want to move things forward, not watch things happen and then occasionally get in peoples way so that I feel apart if the team.

@boombodies working during vacation is the ultimate way of bailing out your manager. Failure is a lesson and we should not shield a company from hard lessons. Otherwise they think it's our job to do that.

Looks like we found the bug -
@ItsNotMyFault As I understand, could also be an Asian thing. Big work culture.

@ItsNotMyFault As a Brit, I can tell it's not unique to the USA.

@bad-practice That sounds illegal, do they not let you take annual leave?
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Dev: I’m taking a vacation next week
Manager: Good you need a break! I’ve put together a list of tickets for you to action during vacation since you’ll mostly be free during that time
Dev: Do you know what vacation means?
Manager: Well I work during *my* vacation
Dev: You write non-answers to emails and interrupt devs with status questions that are easily answered by a single glance at the kanban board. Also, you’ve just assigned a month’s worth of storyboard points to me on my week long vacation. We’d get more work done if you didn’t “work” during your vacation.
Manager: Well it all needs to get done! It’s the only way we can catch up and get ahead of schedule.
Dev: Why do you exist again?
