It’s not free, you get pizzas!

A recent boss mandated that people come on weekends. Everyone’s contract said you have to, except mine. I pointed out to the boss that even though he can ask people to work on weekends, there are laws that prevent how much (you need more and longer breaks, and you can’t do it every weekend.)

He got cold feet and cancelled the event. But he forgot to tell people. The most junior developer had spent 2+ hours on the commute.

These are not real hackathons.

They’re corporate knockoffs.
