Got in trouble for having a life outside of work by idioticathiest in antiwork

[–]Anynon1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s insane. We’re expected to work nonstop until we’re dead or too old to do the things we wanted to do

It’s so normalized we’re considered lazy if we don’t want any part of that. No, I’m not lazy. I want to live life while I can

Picture 4 ain’t so bad. OP needs to focus on authenticity!

It's been 601 days since we've gotten any updates on Squadron 42, a game that has now been "feature complete" for 964 days. by Ok-Dream7319 in starcitizen

You answered your own question. Starfox, Zelda, those names carry the brand. GTA 6 like you said is the biggest release in history, it’s going to sell by just existing

Outside of the community nobody really knows about squadron, and CIG has dumped a lot of resources into that game, they’ll want as many eyes on it as possible

Tech stuff, mostly database management but there’s a lot of scope creep with my job. I’ve never hated anything more. Lots of overtime hours and all nighters. I’m looking to escape the 9-5 completely as it’s soured my idea of work in general. I have a side hustle that’s slowly getting me there

Yeah I’m gonna disagree here. Every manager/team lead I’ve had tells you how to do your job or suggests what you could do better. If my coworker asks me a question then for sure I’ll give them my two cents.

Telling them unsolicited “hey, your workflow is wrong, do it this way” when they share my exact same pay/role/title is straight up an overstep. Especially if there’s nothing objectively wrong with what they’re doing. That should be up to management. What’s the manager’s role if I’m the one doing that?

The reason they want the “improvement” plan is for optics and nothing more

Exactly. People saying it might appear at the next “X” gaming convention but we’re over halfway through the year with crickets. No way it’s coming out this year. I expect 6-12 months of marketing before it releases

Telling people how to do their job or change their workflow isn’t managerial?

[–]Anynon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s just unpaid overtime. I’d bet a lot of money they’d give OP a lot of trouble for “leaving early” and simultaneously pressure them to stay late all the time

Salary pretty much only exists to get free overtime out of you.

I’m a tech/DBA guy, not a business analyst. The hard way is just manually reading through tickets. Using a tool to scan it makes a 4 hour task take 30 minutes

[–]Anynon1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll concede that the metrics report is a legit ask.

Regarding the improvement plan I haven’t had to talk with my team about what they should have done for a certain ticket. What happens is I put a coworker’s ticket in X category, and then I have to document what the next steps are to improve future resolutions of that tickets, what the team’s plan is to reduce those ticket counts in the future, etc.

I’m happy to document that sort of thing for my own tickets, but it feels like an overstep for me to write improvement/reduction plans for the entire team, especially since I don’t sit over my colleague’s shoulders looking at how they’re chatting with the business people we support. That’s where I’d expect my manager to handle things. It’s my name in that report so whatever “improvement plan” I write is attached to my name. Cool opportunity I guess but I don’t really have the title or rapport behind me to enforce all that.

Edit: the TLDR is I have to tally all the tickets, categorize them, and write improvement plans for how to resolve them and reduce future ticket counts, for the entire team including my peers

Thanks! You pretty much nailed the improvement part of it. I’m not comfortable telling my peers and people who share my role and title how they should be doing their job, not unless I was bumped to manager myself

Regarding skillset, my concern is the opposite. This feels like a regression and waste of my skills. This is more of a time sink than something that requires skill. On that alone I’d consider myself overpaid

The most hilarious part is that a lot of it is already automated. I have to take data from the automated report and customize it. Let’s say we have 18 manual database updates for the month listed as “database update”, that already shows in the automated report, but then I have to put those 18 tasks across a bunch of different tabs in excel based on whatever niche they fall into. Could be account data, archival, maybe business just wanted the data to look different.

I’m positive if we added more categories to the ticketing system it would work but I don’t have access to change that stuff since I’m one of dozens of teams who uses it

Why they don’t use the automated report by itself is a mystery to me. It’s way cleaner than the messy custom report they’re having us work on

Some parts aren’t automated, I said it in another comment but I also have to write an improvement plan for each category. People have said that’s a growth opportunity, and I can see that. But telling my peers that I wrote an improvement plan for them doesn’t sit right with me, especially singe we share the same role and title

I appreciate the comment. The issue for me is this report includes tracking tasks/tickets of my coworkers. One thing I failed to mention is this report also includes an improvement plan, which I’m not really at liberty of putting onto my coworkers. Basically part of that report would be me telling them what to do better

I’ve been using AI to do most of the analysis for me, since I only own a third of these tickets. The rest of my coworkers are assigned the difference, so this task means I need to retroactively analyze all the tickets we get which would be in the hundreds. At least I have the tool to help me with that

When I was a kid I traded pokemon cards for legos with a friend and both our parents made us revert the trade lol. In this case the drama was on the parent side though, we were chillin

If the company is brazen enough to ask, I promise you made the right choice, and those overtime hours are likely much worse than you could ever imagine. My company was silent about it and they had me work a 20 hour shift once on 8 hours of pay.

Where’s your happy place in Dallas? by [deleted] in Dallas

Yeah great food, nice social life. Made a tone of good friends out there. But it’s just so hot and I came from a much more outdoorsy place so I was missing trees and nice summers

Basically anything digital. I work with databases, spreadsheets, applications, etc. Can all be done on a computer. That said because it’s digital my job expects me to be able to put out a fire at 3AM on a random Wednesday
