Friday, I got a mail from my PM shortly before I wanted to leave. Basically it was, hey can you check out whether this issue [which I hadn't even heard about] is somehow related to our system? Meeting is in one hour.

My answer: I guess not, otherwise I'd have been in the loop much earlier than one hour before the meeting.

I shut down the PC like a boss and went into weekend.

    Is that "Like a boss"? Ghee.. I do that all the time but never thought it's "like a boss". I mean I do my 8 hours/day and whatever issues there are - they are no longer my problems. Not until next working day at least. Never considered that to be... Bald. Just sensible

    The correct way to make it not OK for him to leave just then, as he had planned, would be to say something like, "there is a sev-1, and we need you to represent our team." Anything else, and a lack of representation is the PM's fault.

    Applicable quote:

    "A lack of planning and preparation on your part does not equal an emergency on mine."

    Wish I could do that without fourteen thousand seven hundred and fifty three escalations on my within an hour of the mail being sent on a Friday after 8PM.

    @vlatkozelka it wouldn't be regarded as favour. Instead, the learning process would be that it's OK to schedule nonsense on a Friday afternoon. Before I can do the owing favour move you suggested, people need to understand that it even would be a favour.

    @rutee07 yeah better implementing one thing at a time and making it right that botching up multiple things at once. ;-) Also, it saves a lot of time when the client wants something and you can directly discuss possible impact on other functionality.
