The excuse used to be that it was new and would eventually get around to it.

I gave up waiting and moved to PieFed, personally.

Wait… Microsoft is shit?!

I keep trying to escape, but I do need a paycheck so… [rolls up sleeves] back into the fray I go, once more! :-|

Yes, this is greatly to be feared:-). But at least you will have a job, other than “factory worker” like everyone else seems to be geared into becoming (either that or soilent green / food - I wish I were joking, though possibly the person in charge who put forth that idea was joking at least? I mean… unless we are into it? No? Okay we can wait on that one…).

You will just have to manage all of the products that the company can force upon you, while they do the “real” work - of golfing, ofc! 😉

Also I now realize that my above messages were slightly incorrect - they were for the “Project Manager” role, which is distinct from your role as “Product Owner”, and then “Product Manager” is a whole other thing… I guess, but I have no idea what the latter is supposed to do, really.

Tbf that seems like the proper response to me.:-)

Normal human ways of thinking go like: however you do it, so long as the job gets done it’s fine! ☺️

PM thinking: even if nothing ever gets done, so long as I collect a salary we continue to have 3 hours of meetings most days every week, it’s all good! 🤔🤯

Also, afaik, the conflict between the PO and PM roles is somehow literally the point? You get blamed if the tasks don’t get done, while the PM ensures that endless reports get generated - I doubt the vast most of which are ever read, and I know that I for one can never find one of those later, in part bc there are so many of them and they encompass everything else into them as well (Jira tickets, Slack messages, hundreds of emails per day mostly saying “this Jira ticket or that Confluence page has been edited”, the former of which for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off!).

So… not only I but we all feel your pain! Otoh, that seems one of the first job roles that will soon be replaced by AI?

The circular justification of a PM’s job, see how much value they add!?

Woah there buddy, you can’t just jump straight into the (non-)solution like that! You skipped the planning refinement! And the planning pre-refinement! And the pre-planning pre-refinement! And we’ll still discuss all of this in the post-planning refinement!

(Yes, every one of these are real, distinct meetings, lasting at minimum one hour but sometimes two or more. EVERY WEEK. Kill me now please? 🥺)

Instructions unclear. Somehow I summoned 2025. Oops, my bad (but before you blame me too hard, 2024 kinda limited our options anyway m’kay?:-P)

We use Arch, btw.

Linux is actually better termed as GNU+Linux…

Your (political) opinion is wrong! See aktshually…

Lemmy has so much to offer the world… like beans! 😁

And Linux, if the Fediverse had any say about the matter! (Or xkcd either:-D)

Plot twist: it will be written and created by AI:-(.

Instructions unclear, now have a perfectly functioning system whereas before it would show ads in the Start Menu. Should I start over and do again?

It uploads your data to help train AI, but then shares with nobody else.

“Retrospective”

Don’t forget about meta-meetings to describe why having more meetings somehow has not resulted in greater levels of productivity.

Not joking btw, I just did that yesterday.

To scare them? Windows.

It’s the absolute best way to make someone become a Linux user for life.:-)

Why do alternative facts always gotta show up uninvited to the party? 🥳
