I almost want to make that painfully hackneyed “did we work together?” Joke because this was my last job. It was status update overload.

Standups daily, then we’d have weekly all hands that I had to prepare status updates for, then a weekly 1:1 with my boss that needed status updates, and then each week my team would have to type out what we accomplished at the end of the week so the Director could send it to the execs for the weekly reviews.

The result? I am giving the same status updates to the same people upwards of four to five times in a single week. There were moments when I legitimately wanted to ask my boss in a very flippant way about his note taking abilities but that wouldn’t have done much but get me in the management dog house probably.

It was a source of annoyance with every other dev I talked to about it.
