dear managers, here's a list of 10 items you should stop doing! love, your no. 1 best programmer pal, duretti 1. putting 10 minutes on my calendar for a "quick chat" with no context. it makes me think i'm gonna get fired 2. heck, just messaging and saying "have a minute?"
This is beautiful. But imo some managers see this as a sign of weakness and would rather make subordinates feel at fault somehow for not having the answers.
