6/10 For people working as programmers: what percentage of your time at
work do you spend slacking off (web surfing etc?) and do you think
some amount of slacking off is necessary in order to be productive
the rest of the time?
\_ Depends on the person, and the company. If you burnout easily
and need recharges through the day, but nail or beat deadlines,
a good manager would be able to recognize this. Keep in mind,
though, that there are a lot of bad managers out there. Also,
as a manager, I would want to know that you can handle being
"heads down" if you have to.
\_ Do good managers ask employees to swallow?
\_ Good employees will offer to swallow before a manager has
to ask.
\_ Good employees swallow without having to be asked.
\_ A good employee-manager relationship involves mutual
and simultaneous swallowing. |
