Probably won't be helpful for your current company, fuck em, but at my current company, a lot of the teams are implementing a random picker for PRs which chooses 2 people from the team responsible. I hear it works wonders for getting PRs reviewed and out of the way 👍

neriald14452ySay it on daily meeting, write passive aggressive msg on team channel, create jira ticket for review and put it on current sprint, buy a candy bar get on top of your desk and shout “whoever reviews my mr first gets the bar, you have 1 hour!”.
Then escalate it to your TM, SM, PO.
In refinement nag about it. In retro cry about lack of mr reviews.
Or do what you did, quit. Well done 👍🏼 -
sam941162yEscalate the fuck out of it
I used to be the quiet guy untill I realised I've turned into the scape goat and the punching bag for the entire team
Send an email for every PR - cc every fucking guy - send gentle reminders , send friendly reminders , become really aggressive - that's the only way to fix this
I know it might be out of your nature. But I think it's better to adopt that style of work than to lose your shit all over something that's not in your control
If it still doesn't get approved , go ahead and fucking say that you're done with your task and forget about it .
If questioned send the barrage of emails and reminders as a proof of work and let the concerned party deal with it
I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm leaving this company in less than a month and I'm so fucking pissed. No matter how fast I work, I ALWAYS end up not getting PR reviews FOR WEEKS. I POSTED A PATCH FOR AN ABSOLUTE BLOCKER THAT HAS MAYBE 20 LINES AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING REVIEWS A WEEK LATER. WHAT THE FUCK. Not to mention that bigger feature I've been working on that blocks subsequent dev steps. It's been, what, a month? And not a single review. The fuck am I supposed to do?
