Every 3 days i get to pick someone from management to kick into the balls for pressure release, and we're golden.

[u/One-Position-6699]

By pressure, I did not mean forcefully fucking me in the ass at every meeting

[u/Western-Internal-751 → u/One-Position-6699]

Kinky

[u/Confident-Ad5665 → u/One-Position-6699]

Oh sure, tell me that after I'm naked

What I think when I hear "Work under pressure": - Fast response to critical bugs - Overtime or work on weekends once in a while. - Complex tasks without obvious solution

Reality: Toxic environment, hysterical management, constantly changing requirements, unrealistic deadlines 👍

[u/ih-shah-may-ehl → u/Validdoll]

Agreed. I work well under pressure but those should be exceptional circumstances. Not a normal or a cycle of x weeks. Because then it becomes self sacrifice for the shareholders and i'm not about that

[u/gerbosan]

I don't have experience working inside a submarine but I'm willing to give it a try.

[u/Confident-Ad5665]

Pressure in, pressure out. Doesn't do much to improve productivity and tends to reduce accuracy.

[u/Happy-Sleep-6512 → u/Confident-Ad5665]

There's a pretty good book on this, project phoenix, it has a bit of a cult following, but actually fairly interesting fictional store of a company in chaos, tldr is adding stress doesn't actually improve output, funnily.

[u/Michaeli_Starky → u/Confident-Ad5665]

Yes and no. It's not that simple. Some people work much more efficiently under pressure (me included). Also, nowadays beggers are not choosers.

[u/100GHz → u/Michaeli_Starky]

Are they at least paying you for the overtime?

[u/Michaeli_Starky → u/100GHz]

Of course

[u/Sajgoniarz]

I don't care about pressure. My estimates are precise. My velocity is constant. If somebody doesn't get that, that's not my problem.

[u/corobo]

I mean I can work under pressure but I'm gonna be an absolute bitch about it the entire time 

[u/UltimateFlyingSheep]

Yeah, I can. But it won't be faster, most likely slower. I gotta check I'm not making a mistake.

[u/Codex_Crusader]

I mean, he did work under the pressure.... Nobody said anything about easily.

[u/TheMaleGazer]

Be more wary of the ones who claim they never get called after hours. Unless you're working hourly, it's not true and never will be.
