bitchface micromanager keeps telling me i don't communicate enough, don't do enough, am not fast enough, etc.

So i've been sending her a weekly summary of ~50 bullet points of things I did during the week, issues encountered, workarounds found, research findings, who i talked to, etc. all organized by task with links to the tickets.

My work volume hasn't increased (probably decreased, actually) but it certainly looks like I'm doing a lot. probably because i am? but she doesn't listen during standup, so... victory by a hundred bullet points it is!

I also asked her for more work three times over the past two days. No response, and I've finished all of my other work.

Guess that means I get the rest of the day off :)

@Root hahaha nice! That's some good MaliciousCompliance right there.

Same problem I faced when I was working for a logistic company. They often use the "you not communicating" as an excuse to portrait you as the potential threat to the company with the intention to fire you.

I can tell it's a @root's rant w/o even opening it. It's got a speciffic scent... 😁

@johnmelodyme That is totally her intention. But I dislike her, so I’m making it difficult :)

Sounds like you've successfully tailored your communication style to their needs.

It’s the second coming of @Harambe!

@Root all you can do is to prove and keep evidences that she was the one who wasn't communicating all along...

Changelog of my LIFE.

- malicious compliance department.

In a similar situation once I reported a non existing bug, causing panic for an afternoon, reported that the bug was solved and got praised in front of others because I used Jira to report my work 😈

There was a similar situation

82 bullet points this week, over five tickets and two other tasks.

Malicious compliance, totally, but holy crap I did a lot this week.

And my time tracker says only 25% of my 40h tracked time was actually productive (research, code, specs, docs). Most of the rest was spent dying or talking.

They don’t deserve me.

I’m working in a really messy collection of projects right now. I spent three weeks tugging on a piece of spaghetti. Manager requested that I connect them to jira tickets and have them on branches.

I had a chain of 14 tickets in jira in to-do which all depended on another. I couldn’t do branches because it was way too messy but I linked them to commit messages. Sprint burn down became burn up and we ended the last sprint with more points in to-do than we had at the start of the sprint.

I wasted so much time on process. I could have had them done in a sprint if I hadn’t been furiously documenting everything. Then I had to wait for review before continuing so many times.

she’s definitely taking classes of “micro-gement” from Michael Scott.

I fell in that trap before. It works 🤷🏽‍♂️

You're still alive right ?

@AvatarOfKaine Hi. I’m on vacation! 🍹🙋🏻‍♀️

@Root doing what?

@Root why does everyone else seem to have some kind of endless retard games they're allowed to play.

Where is my damn cabin ?

@Root just seems like all my fun and games few that there were never reach me because Ive been given some extreme reservations, in short threatened, about being "creative"

@AvatarOfKaine Watching my 4yo play Portal 2

@Root sigh. At least it isn't hitman or fable or grand theft auto

How many 4 year olds have you had?

@AvatarOfKaine Two so far

@Root well hopefully they're growing up as they should since I don't remember that being the response at least once before

@AvatarOfKaine Time tends to move forward.

@Root yes so this is an old picture and he is in his teens now ?

@AvatarOfKaine You really are crazy, aren’t you?

@Root @Root nope just truthful
